What is a audio text?

Audio text, also known as audiobook or talking book, is a recording of a written text being read aloud. It can be a recording of a person reading the text or synthesized speech generated by technology. Audio texts are popular as an alternative way to consume literature, often used during commutes, workouts, or as a means of accessibility for visually impaired individuals. They provide convenience and allow listeners to multitask while still engaging with the written word. Many audiobooks also include sound effects, music, and dramatizations to enhance the listening experience. The availability of audio texts has expanded with the growth of digital audiobooks and streaming services, making them easily accessible on various devices like smartphones, tablets, and even smart speakers.
