** Denna text är maskinöversatt **

Today we have AI-developed "radio theater-like" audio books, containing male voices, female voices and children´s voices in minority languages live via the libraries´ digital distribution platforms, and for dialogue with the libraries how we can further develop the collaboration.

We also see great future potential to ensure together with the libraries EUs Tillgänglighetsdirektiv which enters into force on 28 June 2025, to, among other things, ensure the right to literature for the disabled through digital books. Approach and implementation: Text är maskinöversatt

We have further developed our AI text to speech (TTS) with male voices, female voices and children´s voices as well as tones/emotions and developed children´s books, and with these developed a new type of audio books with a "radio theater feel".

We have integrated our systems with the libraries´ digital distribution platforms for audiobooks through the company Axiell Media, which today is responsible for distribution to more than 90% of Sweden´s school and public libraries, as well as uploading digital files, audio files and metadata for minority languages.
