A programmed text with branching, recorded on an audio-cassette, was developed and tested on twelve visually disabled college students. Eight participants voice-indexed recorded lecture notes, textbooks and other assigned readings. A follow-up study conducted 22 months after the distribution of the programmed text indicated that six out of seven of the students from the initial study still voice-indexed some of their recorded material. Other uses of programmed texts in recorded form for visually disabled students are suggested.
