MyStudio PC - Additional Functions

There are four additional functions in MyStudio PC which are described in this section. These functions may simplify some parts of the production process.

DAISY Import

This function allows you to import an existing DAISY project (DAISY 2.0 or DAISY 2.02) created with a different DAISY production tool into MyStudio PC. It is possible to import from hard disk or CD. Once the project is in MyStudio PC it can be edited. It is also possible to combine several existing projects to create one single project using this function.

1. Select "DAISY import..."(D) from the "Tool"(Alt + T) menu.

2. The "Setting of the DAISY import" dialog box will display. Select the NCC.htm(l) file for the project to be imported by pressing the "File Select" button, select "On" or "Off" for "Audio format conversion" and press the "OK" button or press the "Enter" key.

3. When the "DAISY Import" dialog box is displayed, select the "Start" button or press the "Enter" key to start the DAISY import process.
