BiblioPlayer

This application combines the collections of the Bibliothèque Sonore Romande, the Bibliothèque Braille Romande, l'Etoile Sonore (in French), and Unitas (in Italian).

It is optimized:
- for use by people with dyslexia or reading difficulties, thanks to text minimization and customization.

- for visually impaired users, thanks to optimization of TalkBack, the specialized screen reader software.

The catalog can be browsed freely (offline mode), but downloading is limited to those registered with one of these institutions.

Search by title, author, or book number, cover, audio excerpt, and book summary before downloading. Explore the catalog by literary genre.
