Original Production VS Conversion

At a minimum, original productions should include both headings and pages in its DAISY DTBs. A novel produced with page access can be used effectively for both pleasure reading and study purposes (again, the needs of the end user should be kept in mind). It does not require a significantly greater amount of resources to include pages, but there is significant benefit. Converted books (produced from analogue tapes) on the other hand, if not tone indexed on the tape, require significant resources to include pages. Many organizations therefore may determine that this is not an effective use of resources, and produce converted DAISY DTBs with headings only.
