Volunteer Book Narrators Needed
I was just making a work assignment to one of our Christian workers who is serving the Lord by processing books that have been narrated so that blind and visually impaired people who cannot read regular print can read them. I began to think about how people from churches all around the world could have God's people narrating books for BrailleAudio. Can you imagine having a committee of people, perhaps I should call it a team of God's people, narrating and helping to produce books. Then I could hear someone saying: "But why not just use a syynthesized voice, or even better an AI voice to do this narration?" Of course this might even produce a book faster, but think if we had AI to do the work that human beings are supposed to do as we serve God. Somehow, I don't think the Lord wants AI to do what we are supposed to do. May we use AI to assist us? Yes, perhaps, but I don't think it is God's will to have AI robots or AI software to replace what the Lord wants each of us to do. Yes, it is work. Yes, it takes effort and may take learning, but it is certainly worth serving the Lord to help make a book available for blind people to read.
If this peaks your interest, please send an email to [email protected] or call 919-635-1000 and express your interest which, if the Lord wills, may even become a calling.
God bless you as you pray about this matter of becoming a book narrator.
