Help your child access books in a format that works for them, with human-read audiobooks designed for blind and low-vision readers.
How Learning Ally Supports Blind and Low-Vision Readers
Blind and low-vision students need reading formats that work with their screen readers, magnification tools, and other assistive technology at home and at school.
How Learning Ally helps
Human-read audiobooks
Clear, expressive narration that makes it easier to follow complex textbooks, novels, and long reading assignments.
Accessible app and website

Flexible listening options
Adjustable playback speed, bookmarks, and simple controls that help students manage chapters and assignments more independently.
Organized for real-life schoolwork
Families can create reading lists by class or subject, making it easier to see what needs to be read this week and what’s coming up next.
Not sure if this is the right fit?
Learning Ally is built for kids and adults with dyslexia, low vision, blindness, or reading below grade level. There’s no diagnosis or account needed to find out.
Why audiobooks are a practical reading solution
For many blind and low-vision students, the biggest challenge is getting timely, usable access to printed materials, not understanding the content itself. When textbooks and novels are available as audiobooks, students can listen immediately, without waiting for alternate formats or relying on someone else to read aloud.
Audiobooks also make it easier to engage with rich language, complex texts, and full grade-level curriculum. Students can follow along with what their class is reading, focus on ideas and learning, and build knowledge and confidence, even when print is difficult or impossible to see independently.
