HOMEDAISY Projects
All DAISY projects are open source.
Featured Projects
Obi is a free software application - DAISY 3 (officially, the ANSI/NISO Z39.86 Specifications for the Digital Talking Book) production tool. It is an audio recording tool for producing DAISY audio books. Obi enables individual DAISY end users with a minimal amount of training to produce rich, yet accessible DAISY content. By empowering mainstream users, Obi brings the benefits of DAISY technology to a broader range of consumers. In situations where time and cost constraints limit the use of sophisticated synchronized multimedia production tools (e.g. classroom environment, people and organizations in developing countries), Obi can unlock the potential of producers and consumers (e.g. teachers and students).
Details are available on the Obi 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.

"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.
