What is DAISY XML Translator?


DAISY XML Translator


DAISY XML Translator is a handy add-in for Microsoft Word. It helps translate tons of Open XML documents into DAISY XML. Why does this matter? Well, DAISY XML is super important because it’s part of the Digital Access Information System (DAISY) standard for digital talking books. This makes it easier for people to access written info in audio format.



About the DAISY Consortium


The DAISY Consortium started back in 1996. Their main goal was to use new digital tech to make sure that everyone, especially folks with print disabilities, can access published information easily and affordably. They wanted to create materials that are rich in features and easy to navigate.



How DAISY Works


With DAISY-formatted files, you can scroll through audio content using simple keystrokes. This means you can jump right to the parts you want without having to listen to everything! Plus, if there are footnotes or other extra info, you can set it up so you skip over those if you want.



Playing DAISY Material


You can enjoy DAISY material on special devices designed just for it or on your PC by installing some software. It’s all about making things accessible!
