How we work

We follow a 3 step process in delivering high quality audio books

Step 1

A HV Administrator accepts reading requests from people with visual impairments

Step 2

A fleet of HV volunteers record the books in parts which then passes multiple rounds of quality checks

Step 3

The HV administrator compiles all the recordings into an audio book and delivers it to the requester

I want to express my gratitude for the incredible work you are doing to support individuals with disabilities. Your dedication to recording and providing books for those who may not otherwise have access to them is truly commendable. As someone who has a loved one with a disability, I know firsthand the challenges that can come with finding accessible reading materials. However, thanks to Hidden Voices, individuals with disabilities are able to enjoy the same books and literature as everyone else. Your efforts are breaking down barriers and creating a more inclusive world for all. I have witnessed the positive impact that Hidden Voices has had on those who use your services, and I am consistently impressed by the quality and variety of books you offer. Your team is truly making a difference in the lives of so many individuals, and I am grateful for all that you do. Thank you for your dedication and for being such an important resource for the disability community. Keep up the great work!

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the remarkable work you are doing to support individuals with visual impairments. As a student currently pursuing my education in Sanskrit at St. Xavier's College Ahmedabad, I am deeply grateful for the efforts of the Hidden Voices group in providing accessible resources for blind people. I would specifically like to extend my thanks to Devi Mam, the head of the Hidden Voices group, for her exceptional leadership and dedication. Your recordings have made a significant impact on blind students like me who are studying for UPSC exams or focusing on Sanskrit studies. The availability of high-quality materials has been immensely helpful and has opened up new opportunities for our academic growth. I truly appreciate the tireless efforts and commitment of the entire Hidden Voices team. Thank you for making a positive difference in the lives of blind students and for your invaluable contributions.

Hey everyone, it's Avani! I have some exciting news to share with you all. There's an incredible group on WhatsApp and Telegram called Hidden Voices. They provide a wide range of audiobooks for the visually impaired, covering various topics like competitive exams, current affairs, and more. These books are truly helping us shape a brighter future. What's even better is that they offer personalized audiobooks based on our preferences. Devi Ma'am, the founder of Hidden Voices, is not only cooperative but also quick to address any concerns or queries we have about the books. It's an amazing platform that has made a significant impact on our lives. Thank you so much!

I am Sudheesh, an impassioned teacher who, despite being visually impaired, has found a way to embrace the world of books and keep up with knowledge, thanks to Hidden Voices. They have transformed my life by converting books into audio format, providing me with access to academic resources and keeping me updated with current information. Hidden Voices, led by the exceptional Devi, has gone above and beyond to support me. They initiated a crowdfunding campaign for my medical treatment of Retinitis Pigmentosa, and the generous donations received have led to a remarkable improvement in my vision. Hidden Voices has not only bridged the gap for individuals like me facing visual challenges but also transformed our lives by making knowledge accessible. I cannot commend Hidden Voices and Devi enough for their dedication and relentless efforts. With their unwavering support, I have regained the ability to explore literature, expand my understanding, and stay connected with the world. I extend my deepest gratitude to Hidden Voices and Devi for their invaluable contribution to our lives.
