Make Your Own E-Books and Talking Books

For those of you working on literacy and readers apps, the information below might be of interest.

Mr Koen den Hartogh, a visiting literacy and ICT expert from SIL share the information about the SIL’s Open tools for making e-Books and their Android app for talking books. Koen is currently managing SIL’s Education for Life Project in PNG. Their My Talking library project is driven by a mobile app (Android) that allows users to adapt educational content to their language situation. The software allows anybody to easily publish e-Books with audio in an Android app format. The Talking books are available for free download to smart phones and tablets.

The e-Book publication tool is at http://bloomlibrary.org/landing 


Both are developed by SIL and are Open Source and are really geared for multilingual literacy development.
