A Guide to Planning Accessible Meetings

Tips for Recording Audio Materials

• The reader should have a clear crisp reading voice and read at a moderate speed. 

• Recording should be done in a recording studio or room where there is no background noise.

• At the beginning of the recording identify the reader, e.g. "This document is being read by Darrell Jones."

• At appropriate stages of the recording, identify the document, section and/or the page number, e.g. "Guide to Barrier-Free Meetings, chapter 1."  To the greatest extent possible, the recording should be done in a way that will allow the reader to easily locate individual chapters, sections, pages, etc., without having to listen to other parts.
