Tobi

Tobi v1.0 is an authoring environment geared towards re-purposing published material, for example: to add audio narration to a text-only document, to synchronize a podcast with a structured script, or to review and improve an existing Digital Talking Book publication. To create text from scratch, we recommend popular editors such as Microsoft Word or Open-Office, which can both produce DTBook markup thanks to their respective Save as DAISY add-ins.

More information can be found on the Tobi project page.

AMIS stands for Adaptive Multimedia Information System.

AMIS is a software program that you can use to read DAISY books. It is self-voicing, meaning that no specialized screen-reading software is needed in order for it to be used by visually impaired people.

AMIS is open source software and is provided free of charge.

Types of DAISY books supported:

• DAISY 2.02
• DAISY/NISO 2005
• Multivolume (DAISY 2.02)
• Full text + full audio
• Audio + NCX
• Text-only

Details are available on the AMIS project page.

"Save as DAISY" add-in for Microsoft Office Word now incorporates a "Lite" version of the DAISY Pipeline.

You can select to generate the DAISY XML for further processing, or you can generate a fully conforming DAISY file set with full navigation and full text synchronized with audio. The audio is generated by the default text-to-speech (TTS) engine on your Windows computer.

Details are available on the Save as DAISY-Microsoft Word Add-in project page.
