The Audio Question Bank project, which won first prize in the “Education” category of the You Imagine We Realize social innovation idea competition in 2016, aims to create personal, vocational and academic learning environments based on equal opportunities for the visually impaired. The project includes the transfer of updated trial tests and question banks prepared for examinations such as the TYT and AYT to a suitable environment. KKB established a team of volunteering KKB employees to launch the Audio Question Bank project in cooperation with the Association of the Visually Impaired in Education (EGED) and the Unimpeded Information Center at the Department of Library and Documentation in Istanbul University. Having received vocalization courses from the EGED, KKB volunteers started to vocalize the question banks to be used in preparation for university admission exams. Between 2017 and the end of 2019, nearly 15,000 questions were vocalized and offered to libraries serving visually impaired individuals. One in every three visually impaired individuals had access to the resources generated under the Audio Question Bank effort through the online e-library of the Visually Impaired Technology and Education Laboratory (GETEM) and prepared for the exams. The societal benefit offered by the Audio Question Bank project has gained recognition with awards on various platforms. In 2019, the Audio Question Bank won the Innovation Award at the TİSK Corporate Social Responsibility Awards organized by the Turkish Confederation of Employers’ Associations (TİSK), and the Gold Award in the Social Responsibility Project Communications category at the Istanbul Marketing Awards. In 2019, it was also awarded the Grand Prize at the 11th Companies Adding Value to Sustainable Development Goals Awards held by the Corporate Social Responsibility Association.

To ensure the sustainability of the Audio Question Bank project, infrastructure efforts have started to transfer content vocalized by KKB Volunteers to the digital platform. KKB will continue to offer assistance to visually impaired students in accessing current question banks as part of the Audio Question Bank project.
