What is a Digital Talking Book (DTB)?
At its most basic level, a Digital Talking Book is an audio representation of a print publication which is designed to further enable individuals with print disabilities. DTBs consist of a series of XML-based files, containing the full text playable in synchronized speech as well as in electronic form. These files are coordinated to provide a feature-rich experience for readers with a wide range of print disabilities. A DTB is intended to provide enhanced access to documents above and beyond the standard audio book.
