De la narración del audiolibro a la textualidad verbal y visual del audiotexto: una forma alternativa para la adquisición de conocimientos

Abstract

Traditionally, access to information through reading refers to perceiving and understanding writing through sight or touch; however, reading via listening has been established as a form of tertiary orality that allows writing, image, and voice combination. It conforms to a powerful alternative to knowledge acquisition for new generations, who sometimes prefer to listen to books instead of reading them. For this reason, a documentary-type investigation of the scientific literature on the subject was carried out –through a descriptive study– to delve into using audiotext as an alternative way to acquire knowledge. Audiotext, audiobook, tertiary orality, text to-speech conversion, synthetic voices, and voice deep fake were the concepts analyzed to do this. The impact of information and communication technologies has made it possible for audiotexts to become a powerful tool for spoken word vindication and a complementary device for teaching-learning processes.
