Ok: Daisy is an acronym. It is a standard for creating accessible books. Where the confusion comes in is that the daisy book can have Braille, speech like a talking book or large print. Where it gets a little confusing is that you can have all 3 in the same book but here's where you need to understand what is going on the book doesn't have to have all three types. So for example on book share all you get is the txt while at libraries you might only get the talking book I think where most are getting confused is that they have been led to believe that you put a daisy book in there brailleNote and they have a talking book but that isn't always the case. You can't get the audio if the person building the book never put it in in the first place.
I have created all kinds of books that are audio and have exported scanned book from kurzwiel in to MP3 then made daisy's out of them. In order to create the daisy files you need special software that can build the book. I hope this helps a bit I believe many here have misunderstood what daisy actually is.

I ws told that a "daisy book" meant it was a speech document. Wit the BN, you can actualy listen to BRF books. So, why do you need daisy at all on the BN? ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
