Andrew, Just want to publicly declare my ignorance...
Are the Book Share titles in text format for reading on screen or do they come with some audio as well? I've never seen a title in this format, hence the question. Thanks in advance, Jamie -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hodgson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 June 2004 07:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Bookshare files - Daisy navigation? Hi, What are the files you get with Bookshare? Are they compressed or somesuch? There should be an ncc.html file somewhere, even if it is encrypted. The issue here is that the book is not in audio - the markings are for the text version, so these would have to be converted to audio markers to get what you want - something I am not sure is available on any Daisy conversion software. If I were you, I would continue to carry on with Kurzweil.
