How will having books produced using the DAISY Standard benefit a person who is blind or visually impaired?
Someone who is blind or visually impaired is able to navigate through a DAISY book by moving among the headings, chapters, and pages. Depending upon how the book is produced, images with descriptions may be included, along with even more detailed navigation.. Reading devices for these materials enable users to place bookmarks for later reference. Books consisting of navigable audio files may be accessed with a portable player or via computer. Such books with a significant portion of text offer a user the choice of closely examining the text using a computer equipped with synthetic speech and/or a braille display.
