Beta testers needed for all languages for Microsoft Word to DAISY Translator

Two new releases of the Microsoft Word translator add-in are planned for the next four months. The first software release will be fixing reported problems, supply improved documentation, and add new features, including support for MathML generation. The second release will add audio (mp3) generation using TTS engines and will deliver a fully conforming DAISY file set (DAISY DTB). The add-in works with Word XP, Word 2003, and Word 2007.

The DAISY Consortium is recruiting people interested in beta testing the candidate releases before they are made generally available to the public through SourceForge. We are looking for 50 to 100 people from all language groups to ensure that the add-in is working for everybody throughout the world.

To sign up for beta testing, please use the Contact Us form on the DAISY Web site and select the category "Project Microsoft Save as DAISY Beta Testing".

Additional information about the Save as DAISY project with Microsoft is available in the Projects area of the DAISY Web site.
