What Is an Audio-book?
Audio Book Services are recordings of the book’s text in a voice you listen to instead of reading. There are both full-length and shortened versions of books available as audio-books that can be played on any audio device you have, e.g., Smartphones, computer speakers, or sound systems. Audio-books are typically bought and downloaded similarly to stream-able digital music. They can also be downloaded free from some websites or purchased from online bookstores. Audio-books, found in libraries and schools, were frequently used for education by story narrators. Talking books, as they were often referred to, were available in physical form on analog cassette tapes and vinyl records before the digital availability of audio-books with the advancement of the internet.
Moreover, Audio-books can help you expand your vocabulary. Especially for children and learners of a second language, hearing new words alone or in combination with reading them can significantly improve vocabulary and comprehension. Besides this, Audio-books are adored by listeners as it makes easier to multitask, help reduce screen time, and make it accessible to a wider audience from the comfort of their couch.
