I don't know how well a text file would convert to daisy format. you would have to convert it to an html document. you could make an MP3 of the text, but you would have to have several little MP3 files to correspond with the headings in the html file. then you have to write or make a smil file so the MP3 and html file are synced. there is another file that has to go in the folder, another html file but with a different extension which I can't remember what it is. if you had the proper html file, you could simply rename it with the save as in an html editor I believe by putting the proper extension in the filename. everything would have to be placed in the same folder. there may be a daisy generator available, but I don't know how it would work.
