Summary
Chester Talking Newspaper has its own recording studio located in Chester city centre. Established since 1977, we have been recording and distributing hundreds of audio cassette tapes every week to the visually impaired in Chester and Flintshire. Our studio is now equipped to enable us to record and copy digitally and this has proved to greatly enhance the efficiency of our operation.
Each week, our magazine and newspaper sections are available to stream, or download via the Listen Now section of our website.
In preparation for when cassette tapes are no longer available we now aim to deliver a fully digital product to our Service Users using 'thumbdrives' or 'memory sticks'. These devices allow us to offer a higher quality service without the restrictions and limitations of audio cassettes, allowing us to offer increased content and allowing listeners to quickly navigate to the content they wish to hear.
Currently our Chester edition is in the process of "going digital" and we hope to start offering the Flintshire edition in a digital format soon.
