Sound Stream has become a vital tool for blind and visually impaired users — giving them independent, voice-controlled access to their own audiobook collections.
-
Play any audiobook by voice
Full voice navigation of your entire collection — browse, select, and play without a screen
-
Navigate between audiobooks
Skip from one audiobook to the next — feature built from direct feedback by a blind user
-
Works with any audiobook source
Not limited to Audible — use Libro.fm, Downpour, Librivox, RNIB, CD rips, any DRM-free audio
-
Skip, rewind, identify what's playing
Complete chapter control plus "what's playing?" identification — all hands-free
-
Complete independence after setup
Initial Dropbox upload may need sighted help — but then the listener has full control
★★★★★
"Finally, something that allows my Alexa device to select and play by voice control my audiobooks, not just audiobooks bought from Audible. This allows a blind person to navigate their audiobook collection as easily as with the Audible or RNIB skills. The blind person still needs help getting their audiobooks uploaded to Dropbox, but thereafter Sound Stream gives them the freedom to listen to what they want, when they want it, without needing further help."
— Amazon review, United Kingdom, August 2025
Blind and visually impaired users in the US, UK, and Germany have shared that Sound Stream makes a real difference in their daily independence. Multiple accessibility features have been built directly from their feedback — often within days of a suggestion.
