DAISY for Talking Newspaper Services
More and more talking newspaper service providers are realising the benefits of offering a DAISY service to their members.
A DAISY Digital Talking Book (or sometimes called a DAISY book or DTB), is a form of electronic publication which brings together text, audio and images into a single accessible, navigable digital talking book. It contains all of the features of an audio publication but can also include the benefits of full text, allowing navigation, as well as search and find features and the ability to add bookmarks and footnotes.
Many people who subscribe to talking newspaper services now have access to a computer or MP3 player or DAISY hardware player. They prefer this mechanism for listening to their books rather than the traditional poor quality analogue tapes, which do not offer search and find facilities or the ability to insert audio notes. Introducing a DAISY service means that books can be transferred electronically by email, downloaded or distributed on CD, without the fear of any deterioration or loss of quality.
