Learning Ally’s collection of more than 70,000 digitally recorded textbooks and literature titles – delivered through internet download, assistive technology devices, and mainstream devices like iPhone and iPad – is the largest of its kind in the world. Six thousand volunteers across the U.S. help to record and process the educational materials, which students rely on to achieve academic and professional success.
