Daisy Reader under Lion
Guys, I promise I have looked in the archives but can't find the answer. Does anyone have a recommendation for a DAISY reader under Lion? There's nothing in the App Store and I haven't found anything in the archives here or on the web. I'd appreciate any help as i have a large text book on music notation that I wish to search for specific information. These folks were kind enough to read the book in DAISY format and it would be great to take advantage of that.

I neglected to mention that the book was done by Minnesota State Services for the Blind. It is not a Bookshare book. but it has four levels of Daisyness, so I'm hoping there's a Lion friendly Daisy reader i can use on my Mac Mini. I guess I could use one of the apps that I see for my iPhone but I'd really prefer to use my Mac. Hope I'm making sense. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.

Learning Ally has a program that reads their books and I think there is a version you can buy that lets you read any daisy materials. Sorry I don't remember the name right now. Hope this helps.

Re: Daisy Reader under Lion
Learning Ally's is called the RFB&D reader. There is a version that reads all daisy files such as bookshare but it costs more and I think you have to be a member.
