Title: Punjabi Audiobooks Project
Language: Punjabi/ Hindi / English
Type: Presentation
Time needed: 20 mins
Narrate your plan in details: This project aims to create audiobooks by using content from Punjabi Wikisource to follow the demand of time, interests of people, promote literature among new generations and provide material to Illiterate (some kind of olders or senescence) who want to spend their time, sort of, useful stuff. This project is designed for those users who prioritize audio rather than written matter.
Any support you need: No
How will this session be beneficial for the communities in India?: As we are seeing that people are shifting from reading content to Audio-Visual content. They enjoy listening more than reading and I feel that we should also go with the flow. Firstly creating Audiobooks enhance the reach of Wikisource and it will allow more skilled people, who are not interested in editing or proofreading, to join Wiki Community. This talk will inspire other community members to start this kind of initiative in their Wiki Communities.
