The first ever Talking Book created was Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, published by Harper Collins. Some found the code too difficult, while others had also injured their hands.Īt the time, the National Institute for the Blind (now RNIB) and St Dunstan’s (now Blind Veterans UK) joined forces to create the Sound Recording Committee which originally recorded Talking Books onto records to be played on gramophones. Their injuries meant they returned to Britain no longer able to read, and not all of them had been able to learn braille. The Talking Books service revolutionized reading for people with sight loss when it launched in 1935 to help soldiers who had been blinded in the First World War.
