Do you want help with recorded literature?

If you have dyslexia, visual impairment or other disability, you are entitled to adapted course literature.

Talking books – listen to your course literature

A talking book is a recorded version of a published book that contains audio, text, and sometimes images. The Swedish Agency for Accessible Media (MTM) has a service called Legimus and with an account you can read and download talking books directly to your smartphone, tablet or computer.

Legimus - who can get an account?

Contact us if you believe you are entitled to adapted course literature. You do not need to have met with a coordinator first.

The Legimus app and Easy Reader for desktop reading software make it easy to read and navigate talking books.

Easy Reader

Please note that it is the student's own responsibility to check if relevant course literature is available in Legimus.

If your compulsory course literature is not available in Legimus, the library will help you order new production from MTM. The production time for reading new books is about 8-12 weeks, so be out well in advance with your order.

Order recorded course literature (Legimus users)

It is only compulsory course literature and entire books that you can get as talking books.

MTM does not produce articles or compendiums as talking books. Students are therefore recommended to use a speech synthesis program to listen to PDFs, digital book chapters, compendiums or articles. All students have the right to speech synthesis via the FHS study counsellor.
