Dil ki Awaz: Urdu Audiobooks project

Aim

Tap into the wisdom and tradition written in Urdu

Objective

To create a mobile app and an online portal where people can listen to Urdu Audiobooks for free.

Background

The ease of recording and retrieving high quality audio has made audiobooks an attractive new method of learning. The Audiobooks industry in English is already big. Long commutes provide a perfect opportunity to listen to audiobooks on handheld mobile devices. 

There is a large cohort of Urdu speaking people around the world who lack the necessary reading skills to benefit from the ocean of knowledge, wisdom and tradition preserved in Urdu literature. Through this project we hope to make Urdu nonfiction and fiction easily accessible in the form of audiobooks for adults and children.
