Download Account for Talking Books
To borrow talking books, you need a download account with MTM (Swedish Agency for Accessible Media). Book a time with the library to set up an account. Your account can then be used to download literature from Legimus to your computer, tablet, or mobile.
Computer Reading Software
To read a talking book on your computer, you need to install a reading program, such as Easy Reader, which is available for both Mac and PC. You can also read talking books directly in your web browser. For this you need to be connected to the Internet and logged in to Legimus.
You can read e-texts using the program Textview, which you download for free in Legimus.
Apps
To use a talking book on your device, you need to download the app Legimus or the app Dolphin EasyReader. The app is available for both iPhone/iPad and Android.
Record Course Literature
We can order compulsory course literature if it is not already available in Legimus. Contact the library to place an order: bibinfo@du.se. Please give the course code or the official list of literature for the course. Note that it can take about 8-12 weeks to record a new book.
TorTalk
With TorTalk, you can listen to e-books and other files such as locked PDF files. The program works on both Mac and PC, and there are voices for several languages. TorTalk is useful if you have reading or writing difficulties or if your first language is not Swedish: anyone, however, may use it.
TorTalk is installed on computers in the library in Falun as well as in some computer rooms on both campuses. Students and staff may also download TorTalk to their computer. Please note that you must be logged in with your university username to access the licence key.
