This article explores potential areas for improving the production and use of tape recorded textbooks. The first section reports a survey of volunteer narrators. It shows that they sometimes record books beyond their expertise and would welcome more guidance, feedback and support in their task. Implications for future policy are discussed. The second section examines the dafficultaes encountered by visually handicapped students who study from tape recorded text books. It establishes the students' own priorities for improvement and some possible means of achieving these are considered.
