Celebrating 30 Years of Service to the Print-Disabled!




Virginia Voice is a non-profit organization that provides an audio reading and information service for those who cannot read for themselves because of vision impairment or other disability. Each week we broadcast readings from more than 100 publications, including newspapers, magazines, and informational publications of particular interest to the "print-disabled." In addition, we provide readings from a number of online publications and from several online news and information sites.

Print-disabled individuals in the The Greater Richmond Area and in the Norfolk/Hampton Roads area are able to listen to Virginia Voice on specially tuned radios that Virginia Voice lends to eligible applicants for the service. We are on the air 365 days a year and the readings are also accessible online here in the form of mp3 files.
