About This Opportunity

The Library of Congress is seeking information on software to automate the creation of digital talking books (DTBs) from existing audiobook files and electronic text, including synthetic speech generation. The software must produce DTBs compliant with DAISY and applicable NLS specifications, generate and manage XML navigation and metadata, support high-volume batch processing and standard file formats, and demonstrate integration with NLS AWS systems.

A strong match for technology vendors

Why we classified this as tech

The requirement is for custom software to automate digital talking book production, including speech synthesis, XML generation, batch processing, and integration with AWS. This is an RFI for market research rather than a current solicitation for proposals, but the underlying requirement is clearly relevant to software vendors.
