In my previous article , I alluded to an Audio Books application forAndroid. I did not go into much detail on the application itselfbecause I felt it deserved an article of its own.So heregoes!
In Praise Of Librivox
If you arent familiar with the Librivox project, please visit Librivox.org to see the wonderful work that that project is doing. Androidapplication AudioBooks brings the wonders of Librivoxto Android --- now, you can carry all 30,000 audio books andcounting in your pocket and access them anywhere .Here are some highlights:
- Browse, and quickly play available audio books. You canbrowse by several criteria.
- Books you listen to get downloaded to your device and areavailable for offline listening.
- All books provide a table of contents, allowing you to jumpto a specific portion of a book.
- 90% of the application user interface is completelyaccessible with TalkBack --- see below for missing accessfeatures.
The only glitche with using application AudioBooks with the Android Access API is that the player controls withinthe audio-book player are presently missing contentdescriptions --- this is Android-API speak to say that thecontrols are images with missing labels. So the first time youuse this app, youll need someone to tell you the buttons ---alternatively just experiment to discover theirfunctions. There are pause, play, rewind and forward buttons ---if the friendly folk who developed this application stumble uponthis post, please get in touch, and I can show you what you needto add to your code to make the eyes-free experience evensmoother.
Happy Listening --- And Share And Enjoy!
