Learning Ally, previously named Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic (RFB&D), originally named Recording for the Blind (RFB), is a non-profit volunteer organization operating nationwide in the United States. It produces and maintains a library of educational accessible audiobooks for people who cannot effectively read standard print because of visual impairment, dyslexia, or other disabilities.
Learning Ally provides services to individuals with print disabilities such as dyslexia and visual impairments, as well as the people who support them. This includes services for parents such as phone consultations, webinars, support networks and information on specialists and tutors; and services for teachers such as classroom management tools (Teacher Ally), professional development workshops and lesson plans. Learning Ally also offers a digital audiobook library which in 2015 contained over 80,000 titles,[1] including textbooks on specialty and academic subjects, from kindergarten through post-graduate and professional. Borrowers must provide a certification of their disability, and they may borrow titles through an individual membership, through their association with a member institution such as a school, or both.

Audio software for mainstream mobile devices and the group's Link software for Mac and PC are available to members free of charge. At various fee levels, Institutional memberships are also provided to public and private schools, colleges and universities. The company awards four types of scholarship prizes to students who use its assistive technology.[2]
