Blio Opens the Door for Premium Digital Content Creation
Any book can be converted into the Blio format. Once created, getting your book into the marketplace in a digital format is as easy as sending a file and providing basic metadata. Our partner Baker & Taylor can handle conversion, encryption, embedded data and everything else you need for your book to wow readers onscreen.
With Blio, publishers can:
- Enable text to speech for read-aloud performances and synchronize unabridged audio with digital text to create a new product of print plus audio.
- Insert video or audio clips, or interactive Web pages.
- Use voice painting to create a computer-generated, multi-character listening experience.
- Engage readers more fully by enabling social networking within a book.
- Brand the reader software specifically for a book, series or imprint.
- Customize research tools, such as dictionaries and Web-based research destinations.
