I don't know if this will give you the results you want. You will need to mark up the text file according to their fairly clear instructions. Once you do, though, you will get back, depending on what you request, either a Daisy book in one of three formats or an mp3 file.

Then I just move to that bookmark. But to get to that start or end of a chapter or end of a sectin, I must move by screen or paragraph until I reach the locaation for inserting a bookmark. Daisy books usually mark the chapters, sections etc. I wasn't sure if I could actually make this happen or not. I have some text for my students that are in ttxt format on cd. I can move them to a bookport or victor reader stream. But when looking for a given place in the book, the student must get there in a very slow manner. I guess maybe after this first year of using the books, the bookmarks would be in the bookport or victor reader stream for next year. So that is why I was wondering. The publisher doesn't have the text avilable in daisy or I would bought them as well as the txt copies. Hope I diidn't go on too long with my explanation.begin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Curtis Delzer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 11:31 AM Subject: Re: converting text to daisy format > If they are already text, why convert? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dan Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "PC audio discussion list.
