Well you could do it by hand but it would be very difficult to do. It  
would require understanding teh DAISY specification very well indeed.

Re: Creating DAISY books was VoiceOver Getting Started (Snow Leopard) is DAISY format

2009-09-03 Thread Greg Kearney

Yes you can and in fact we use Macs here all the time to do just that.  
The best way is to use OpenOffice with the odt2dtbook plugin. That  
will export a DTBook XML file which can be used with the Daisy  
Pipeline software to generate the finished book. The next release of  
the plugin will eliminate the need to use DAISY Pipeline and will  
export a finished DAISY book.
