Talking books

If you are studying at Halmstad University and have a reading disability that makes it difficult to read printed text, the university library can help you apply for access to the Legimus service.

What rules apply?

If you have a disability that makes it difficult to read printed text, you can get access to Legimus.

Exemples of disabilities that may make it difficult to read printed text include:

Reading and writing difficulties, dyslexia
Physical disibilities that, for exemple, make it hard to hold a book
Neuropsychiatric disabilities, such as autism and ADHD
Hearing impairment for auditory training and the connection between speech and text
Temporary disability due to, for example, injury or illness

Having a disability does not in itself entitle you to a Legimus account. There must be a connection between the disability and the difficulty in reading.

Application for access to recorded literature

The meeting is held via Teams.

We complete the application together. At the end of the meeting, we briefly show how Legimus works as preparation for you if the application is approved.
MTM - The Swedish Agency for Accessible Media reviews the application and will get back to you within a few days with a decision on whether access to Legimus will be granted or not.
If you already have a Legimus account and want to transfer it to the university library, you are welcome to contact us.
