With your support, we have held as many computer courses as we can.  This new coming year, we have focused on three kinds of classes:

1.the NVDA group classes (about how to use screen reader.).

2.iPhone/pad and Android group training courses during January.

3.we have one to one classes for those have particular needs.  The content of class includes basic computer information, keyboard lessons, music editing software (such as Gold Wave, My studio PC), Microsoft Office (WORD, PowerPoint) and Youtube (search and download), blogs and surfing the internet.

Maintain and Enlarge the Taiwan DAISY Library continually. 

This Online library is constructed in 2010, and visually impaired people could join to be a membership from that time. 

This library has over 449 members and over 4249 DAISY books till now (2015 March.).

TDTB not only provides DAISY books but also provides computer training courses, which make this library accessible for visually impaired people. 

This year, With your help, TDTB will continually make good DAISY books for the visually impaired.  And the dream of reading without barriers for the visually impaired can be realized in the future.

Recording and Production of Digital Talking Books

From January to February, we continued recording books in DAISY format.  One book are finished and one book is under recording.  All books are produced in DAISY format.  These DAISY books are free to visually impaired people.  With your financial support, we can continually record more audio books and produce e-books in DAISY format.  In modern time, DAISY format is the best way to read and the best way to publish for the visually impaired (According to the DAISY consortium).  

TDTB will continue recruiting volunteers to record daisy digital talking books and touching articles. The section of good article is called “Garden of Heart” on our website.
