New Macintosh DAISY Book Player in Development

5 May, 2008 @ 9:26 am by Lioncourt

Curtain University Center for Accessible Technology (CUCAT) is developing a free and open source DAISY book player for Mac OS X. The application, christened Olearia after a variety of Australian daisy flower, will support playback of DAISY 2.02, DAISY/NISO 2002, DAISY/NISO 2005, and text-only DAISY digital talking books (i.e. Bookshare.org and NIAMS). More information is available at the Olearia page at CUCAT.org.

DAISY is an international standard for digital talking books for the blind and print disabled.

    This should bring a smile to Greg Kearney’s face. (And then the fact that I more likely than not butchered the spelling of his last name will quickly cause said smile to leave. Ah well, heavy is the burden of being me…)
