In collaboration with gh, LLC, the American Chemical Society has converted its high school chemistry textbook Chemistry in the Community into a digital talking book (DTB). Chemistry in the Community, DTB is a powerful tool for students who have reading difficulties or for whom English is a second language. This product is also a valuable resource for students who are blind or visual impaired. Each CD contains the complete textbook in a National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (NIMAS) format which meets compliance with emerging federal legislation and includes the gh player, the technology that gives the DTB its functionality. Students may enlarge the text for reading, read along and/or have the text read to them in their choice of three different voices. Students can control the pace and volume as the text is read aloud. Charts, graphs and illustrations come alive as they are described in detail for the student as they read through the page.
