Standards-Based Translator Converts Text to Rich DAISY XML in Seconds

The DAISY Consortium promotes an international standard for digital talking books. Working with Microsoft, the consortium developed a Microsoft Office Word add-in that converts ECMA Office Open XML - based documents into the globally accepted DAISY (Digital Accessible Information SYstem) XML format. With this translator, publishers can prepare digitally accessible content in minutes, rather than months, after initial print publication.
