The Spoken Ink Project

About

The Spoken Ink Project makes the wisdom of ancient cultures universally accessible and easily digestible, by translating and re-publishing folk stories in audio form. The written word was a technological advance on the oral tradition. It made traditional stories durable and transmittable through time and space without manual labor. Now, modern technology restores these written words to their original, verbal medium. That is spoken ink.
