QNS sold our first digital recording which was converted from a cassette recording and noise-reduced in 2002. Narrators began experimenting with digital recording in 2003 using their own equipment. We now have around 10 narrators recording to digital in 2008. Through successful grant applications QNS is building up a collection of Apple E-Macs with Audacity recording software for narrating. The process has moved from casstee to CD to mp3 and now DAISY.
QNS is a not-for-profit organisation. The success of the Service has been due to the team of past and present voluntary narrators, to whom we acknowledge a debt of gratitude, and without whose services and dedication through the years, QNS would not exist.
Until 2006 QNS was housed with the State Library of Queensland. Audio books narrated by QNS volunteers are in libraries throughout Australia.
