Client: Legal Services Commission
Work Type: Audio
Project Type: Legal
The Challenge:
The Legal Services Commission required several of their information leaflets to be produced in audio format (cassette recordings) to be used with ethnic minority groups who were unable to read because of visual impairment or learning difficulties. This project was complex to organise as it had many different stages that had to be gone through before the recordings were complete and delivered to the client.
Our Approach:
The source texts for this project consisted of printed leaflets for various benefits and allowances that were in English. The process to turn these into audio recordings involved several stages. First, we made written translations of the leaflets into the four languages concerned. Next, we organised native speakers of the languages to act as voice artists. We gave them the translations and asked them to check them over as proofreaders and also to adapt them for audio use. For example, if the leaflet referred to a page number, this would be changed in the script tolater/previously in this recording” as appropriate. Then, we arranged with our sound engineer to make the master recordings. At the same time, we organised the design and printing of cassette inlay cards. Finally, copies of the recordings were made to cassette in the quantities required by the client and the boxes of recordings were dispatched.
The Result:
The client was pleased with the boxes of cassettes they received and these recordings are now in use by the Legal Services Commission.
