OpenBook will also readd daisy files, and Freedom Scientific also had a daisy file reader available, but I am not sure they have it now. If they do have it, it will be available for download as a trial version from their web site.

Yes, you can do that, but I don't really find the screen reader relaxing for leisure reading and Doubletalk is not acceptable for very much at all, which
is why it is so disappointing the new BP will continue using it.

Sending the TXT file as an audible file is a bit better, but takes more
time.  That is it works if you have some decent voices.

I never knew what the Book Wizzard was about because I just now joined Book
Share.  I am definitely going to explore it.

Thanks!

Eric,

After I download the daisy version of a bs book, I just copy the main book
file and put it in a txt file.  I used to read it on my computer that way
all the time.

Can't the book port read .txt files?

Can anyone tell me about alternative software for reading DAISY than the
free reader with Book Share.  They don't really outline any alternatives.

Many thanks!
