Our name says it all. Texts In Audio converts texts into audio. But it's a complicated process that requires several tasks for which many audio companies bill separately. Texts In Audio keeps accounting and management simple. We charge one set price that includes every step needed to produce high-quality audio textbooks that sound great and engage listeners.

CASTING ─ choosing suitable readers for the textbook's content. Texts In Audio readers are clear and engaging. Just as important, they're intelligent people with broad educational backgrounds. Textbooks demand readers sophisticated enough to deliver complex intellectual arguments in a way that student listeners can understand. We hand-pick our readers personally to fulfill these requirements. Hollywood actors with big name recognition will not sell extra audio textbooks.
 

NARRATION ─ the process of clearly reading textbook material with appropriate emphasis. College text authors can write nuanced and difficult prose. Texts In Audio readers will break down complex passages to add pauses and inflections that enhance listener understanding.
 

STUDIO FACILITIES ─ arranging for use of recording facilities. We own all the hardware and software necessary to produce excellent-sounding voice recordings. As a result, we maintain complete control over all our audio textbook production schedules.
 

ENGINEERING ─ manipulating equipment and workstation settings to record the best quality audio possible. Many recording companies trumpet "Grammy quality" production values, but these are excessive for Intro to Psychology. We create crisp, clear, artifact-free recordings that sound great and allow students to focus upon content, not ambience. We record digitally so audio quality never degrades.
 

DIRECTION ─ guiding the narrator to deliver as engaging and clear a delivery as the textbook's material allows.
 

EDITING AND PRODUCTION ─ manipulating the originally-captured audio recording to produce distraction-free sound files that also are true to the book's content. Technically, we remove pops, hisses, clicks and noise artifacts. Creatively, we identify any problem areas and re-record certain passages to ensure that the author's message comes through as intended.
