EDUCATIONAL AUDIO

Educational audio and audiobooks for schools.

Turn school readers, stories and approved teaching materials into listening editions for your learners. Narrate works with educators on the language, pace, pronunciation and delivery each resource needs.

01

Choose the learning resource and audience

Start with a reader, story collection, revision script, vocabulary lesson or teacher-approved explanation. Tell us the age group, subject, reading level and whether the audio is for guided classroom work or independent listening.

  • School readers and supplementary stories
  • Listening practice and language-learning dialogues
  • Revision modules and teacher-approved explanations
02

Direct language, pace and pronunciation

Supply pronunciation notes for names, places, subject terms and local expressions. We confirm the available voice and language for your project, then use a preview to review clarity, pauses and expression before the full resource is produced.

03

Keep dialogue and songs purposeful

A story may need expressive narration, separate character voices or an educational song. Agree those requirements in the brief. Lyrics, musical direction and sound effects are reviewed separately from spoken teaching text and may change the quotation.

04

Plan listening around your learners

For learners who use audio alongside print, agree chapter lengths, repetition and navigation with the teacher. Visually impaired learners, dyslexic readers and children with learning difficulties may have different requirements; review a sample with the people who will use it.

05

Deliver for the classroom you have

Receive chapter or lesson audio files and an agreed listening edition. A QR listening page can connect a printed resource to its audio. Confirm devices, internet availability, access controls and any institutional sharing requirements before delivery.

06

Quote a resource or a series

Production pricing is based on word count and scope. The estimator applies progressive manuscript rates with a KSh 2,000 production minimum before voice setup. For a term's resources or a reading series, request a multi-title quotation with a shared review process.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What people ask before production

Can Narrate produce audio in French or Kiswahili?

Send the source text and the language, accent and pronunciation requirements. We confirm an appropriate voice and review a sample before committing to the full resource. Translation is a separate requirement to agree in the quote.

Can a school use audio it did not write?

The school or commissioning organization needs the relevant permission to adapt and distribute the material. Confirm ownership or a licence before submitting a publisher's book or third-party teaching resource.

Can learners listen alongside a printed book?

Yes. Chapter or lesson audio and a QR listening page can accompany the printed resource. This does not imply automatic word-by-word highlighting or synchronized text; agree any additional presentation requirements separately.

Bring a teaching resource into audio.

Share the material, learner age group, language and classroom use. We will propose a sample and production scope.
