Are you producing material for people who can't read print?
Have you heard about COTIS?
When COTIS - Confederation of Tape Information Services - was established in 1986, tapes were in vogue as an acceptable format for visually impaired people. Today, you can still listen to your local talking newspaper on a personal stereo, but you can also have a synthesised voice teaching calculus from a floppy disk.
Certain formats have been with us for years - Braille hasn't really changed in over 100 years, whilst the printed word changes with each generations' own buzz words and technical jargon. Technological advances allow us to communicate faster and produce material in hitherto unknown - but now highly accessible ways, hence the changed emphasis in our title, Confederation of Transcribed Information Services.
To join COTIS or to send for guidance notes and tapes contact COTIS and request an order form. Annual subscription only £12 for organisations and £6 for individuals or £50 for individual life membership. Special for COTIS members - 10% discount on all publications with post and packaging free.
