I have a dyslexic middle-schooler and I'm attempting to figure out the best way to help her out. One thing that I've seen suggested in online communities is Audible. Audio books are a great way to help bridge that gap in reading, but I didn't know much about the Audible service and I wanted to know if it's better to get a subscription directly through Audible or via Amazon. While I could do an online search, I felt this would be better answered by a person.
Overall, I had a decent experience dealing with their customer service. The call itself was not terribly long, but the customer service is definitely outsourced. It strikes me as odd that a company that specializes in audio solutions can't do better.
There are a lot of reasons why people might call, and given that a large section of their target audience is probably blind, I imagine they get a lot of phone calls. Going online to look for customer service probably isn't a normal thing for some of their target audience. Regardless, I wish they had hired employees who speak clear English because the second half of my call would have gone more smoothly.
When I first called Audible, the system told me that I could dial 1 if I knew my party's extension. I didn't, so I waited a second, and then it asked me to dial 8 for customer services or 0 for the operator. I did pause to consider if I wanted customer services or the operator, but then, I opted for customer services.
After pressing 8, a very clear automated voice outlined several options to me stating, "Hi you’ve reached Audible. Our menu has several options. Please choose from the following: If you are visually impaired, press 1, and we will do our best to connect you with an accessibility specialist. To cancel your membership, press 2. Have a question about your listening experience? Press 3 for assistance. Having technical issues, press 4." It added to stay on the line for other questions.
Everything up to this point was clear and easy to understand, but after two minutes and 54 seconds, I was connected to a real person who had a very thick accent. Eventually, I got answers to most of my questions, but it took a long time. I had to keep asking her to repeat things, and it was very annoying.
