Some time later it occurred to me that they might be welcomed by others with impaired sight and would be a useful extension of the hundreds of hours I spent in their recording! Accordingly I wrote in the publishers, Harper Collins, and got permission to distribute a limited number of copies, on a non-commercial basis, to others registered blind.


I also purchased an application to to render these recordings in 'Daisy' format so that he could use his RNIB machine to listen to them. As a result I undertook to record the offices of Readings, Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer. Some years ago a member of our community began to lose his sight and was unable to read the Office. Having noticed the recent introduction of audio options into your Divine Office I am wondering if the enclosed would be of any interest to you.

The calendar can be set to your own local one instead of being always Westminster, and there are many other good features. You don’t need to keep on connecting to the Internet because the audio gets downloaded just once, when you first subscribe. One subscription covers all the Hours, including the daytime ones.
