Mp3 or something similar to easily read a book (self.Blind)
submitted by Tunderstruk
I know an elderly lady who went blind just 2 years ago, and she needs help to read/listen to the bible. The idea we have is to use some recordings of the entire bible that we have available and store them on an MP3, but we can't find an MP3 that is easy to use when blind. The recordings we have is separated with each book as an album, and each chapter of the book is a "song" in the MP3.

A local library for the blind may have books in such a format that they can provide to you on an easy-to-use player.

I would check with your local library first! They check out ebooks and or might have cds.

Maybe audible? Their files are split into chapters and can easily accessed via an Amazon Echo

Are they computer literate. Can they use voice over on the iphone or computer. There’s so many bible apps out there and translations.
There’s multiple readings of the bible and even bible verses to music like meditative things to help you fall asleep and relax and worship on youtube. As a christian myself I looked in to it. I actually did this for another reason too, but hey.
I also tried something I had an alexa device so just asked her for an audio version of the bible, I was hoping she’d pull up a skill or something. I have audible and alexa said well it is free on audible and comes with your subscription so here. And alexa downloaded the audio KJv I think it was or could be NKJV and began reading. Pretty interesting actually.
So if not computer literate make sure she has audible and an alexa.
The unfortunate thing is you can’t go to just any book of the bible and have to skip chapter by chapter. Unless someone knows how to do this faster.
Say if you are at the begining and want john chapter 3 you know the famous verses. Well I’d have to say next many many times to get there which isn’t good. Even say I wanted 2nd kings, say.
So that’s the downfall of it.

What about youtube? Can she listen to computer? Or you can find another audible website that reads the Bible outloud. :)

Alexa might even help.
You could even look up the victor reader stream and see what you think about it. It’s not my kind of thing personally, but it may help her.

Does she have an IPhone? I think there’s bible apps for it.
Applevis.com can help you if she does.
