Infosound is a small British charity that produces and distributes information, in audio, for vision-impaired people. Its current service, “Infoshorts” (www.infoshorts.org), is a brief weekly bulletin of practical information and advice about living with sight loss and these are freely shared with local talking newspapers, via TNF Soundings, for use in their own audio publications.
