@aardrian @ChanceyFleet Thanks for sharing!

We’ve been funding the creation & distribution of high quality AI-voiced audio versions of books in Hindi (and other languages) through DAISY and are currently working on a related project for audio descriptions of tactile images.

It’s such important work and great to hear what else is happening in the ecosystem.

Not a loaded question — who is “we”?

And is there some crowdsourced funding site for this?
