Re: Daisy Reader under Lion
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
Hi Kevin, Olearia written by the association for the blind in western australia for the mac here is a sendspace link for it. http://www.sendspace.com/file/r24p69 And here is the url where you can download it if the sendspace link goes. http://www.cucat.org/projects/olearia/ Olearia is a free open source Macintosh based DAISY playback software under development at Curtin University Centre for Accessible Technology. When completed Olearia will offer the following features: * Playback of DAISY 2.02, DIAYS/NISO 2002 and DAISY/NISO 2005 books. * Playback of text only DAISY digital talking books. (Bookshare and NIAMS) * Support for skippable content. (Notes and sidebars) * Support for MacOS X features such as VoiceOver, braille displays and Spotlight.

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.

Re: Daisy Reader under Lion
Learning Ally's is called the RFBD 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.
