What exactly is a DAISY book?

A DAISY book is a digital talking book usually made up of both audio and text content. This content can be read and listened to simultanesouly and users can navigate around the content to find specific places.

All DAISY 'books' consist of a group of files, a control file (NCX in DAISY 3)that keeps the material together. The text in the material is stored in a XML file. The audio is typically streamed in MP3 format and the synchronisation between text and audio is controlled by Smile (.SMIL) files. See a flash animation of a DAISY book being played by EasyReader on the www.AltFormat.org website.
