Bridging the Digital Divide

Our solution is the Amplio Talking Book—a rugged, easy to use, battery-powered audio device. With the Talking Book, you can deliver hours of local language audio content. Users can select and play messages on demand and record their feedback. A built-in speaker lets families and groups listen and learn together.

“Ingeniously engineered (and re-engineered) to meet specific needs and usage scenarios in very poor communities.”

Michael Trucano, Senior ICT and Education Policy Specialist, World Bank

“The Talking Book’s simplicity is its greatest achievement. In an oral culture where words carry so much weight . . . it lends a unique and previously unattainable benefit to these communities.”

Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship

“An innovative digital technology to influence behaviors that impact the lives and opportunities of the most vulnerable children.”

Susan Namondo Nigong,
UNICEF Ghana Country Director (2013-2017)

“Our community health volunteers are delivering consistent, quality health information more efficiently and effectively.”

Catherine Mesianto Lengewe, Technical and Strategy Director,
Centre for Behavior Change and Communication
