Czytak is a portable, easy-to-use device for playing audiobooks recorded on a removable SD memory card. It also features a voice recorder for recording your own notes, and a talking watch.

It is intended for people:

  • visually impaired and blind,
  • hearing impaired, as it is possible to adjust the volume,
  • struggling with decreased fitness and lack of motor coordination,
  • who are not comfortable using touchscreen devices

It is equipped with the following amenities:

  • a comfortable keyboard with large, clearly marked, easily felt buttons,
  • good-sounding speaker and the ability to connect headphones,
  • fully voiced functions enabling independent, sightless operation – sounds indicate e.g. turning the device on and off, selecting a book, current time, no card, etc.
  • a built-in battery that provides several dozen hours of listening without the need to recharge,
  • remembering the place where you stopped listening and starting it at any time (even after turning it off),
  • the ability to play continuously or pause between episodes or rewind the recording while it is playing,
  • It is small (15.9.3 cm) and light (25 dkg0), fits comfortably in the hand.

The Mediateka offers free lending of a reader with audiobooks recorded on a memory card at the reader’s request.

All you need is a reader card and a commitment-free account.

We lend books for a period of 1 month with the possibility of further extension.

Our library, working in cooperation with the LARIX Association, which deals with access to new technologies and promoting reading among blind people, has a rich catalog of talking books recorded in the DAISY format.
