Audio Recording
Recorded Audio Books are either human readings or synthetic voice that are provided to AIM-VA students through Learning Ally, formerly known as RFB&D. While most of the books are audio only (Classic Audio), a select number of books have been converted to the VOICEtext format; which provides highlighted text to be followed while the audio is played.
