Since many speakers of the indigenous languages are not readers of the language, two different audio versions of the books in indigenous languages were prepared for them: an audiobook and an interactive electronic book, which integrates both written and oral. Currently the versions of Nanotechnology in Mixteco, Náhuatl, Mixe, Zapoteco, Mazatec, Hñahñu, Yokotán, Mayan Tseltal, and Quechua are finished.

These programs have been given to indigenous communities’ radio stations.
