DAISY Project Update No. 7
Dear All,
Apologies for not sending out an update sooner - the project team have been
busy analysing the results of your questionnaires, compiling the project report
and moving forward with the next phase of the project.
Thank-you very much to all of you who took the time to fill in both
questionnaires - we've had over 200 responses.
Dolphin are currently looking at the feedback regarding EaseReader and have
asked me to pass on their thanks for your responses.
The eagerly awaited DAISY Pilot Project report is in its final stages of
tweaking and will be available towards the end of June. We will let everyone
know when it is published and how to get access to it. We are hoping that it
will also be available on our website.
The good news is that following the positive results from the pilot, we are now
putting together a project plan, which will go to NLB Council at the end of
June, to look at the future digital audio (DAISY) service that NLB will offer.
As a result of your feedback there are a number of issues we still need to
address - especially around the synthetic voices we use, this work is
continuing and we are looking into all the options available to us.
Thanks once again for your valuable input into this project - we can't test
potential services without you!
NLB is continuing to work with BT to develop ways of delivering future
electronic services and improving synthetic speech technology.
In connection with this work there follows a request to take part in an
external market research survey. All will be revealed in the following
paragraphs. Please do participate if you can - the potential for this new
service for visually impaired people is huge!
Kind Regards,
Sarah Home
DAISY Project Manager
Request to take part in a market research survey
BT is working with a company which is developing an innovative, new service
which promises to enable you to listen to, and very simply browse, your
favourite publications immediately on going to press. Initially publications
would be daily newspapers and magazines, but it is likely that this would be
extended to include books at a later date.
Would you be prepared to take part in market research in order to get your
views and feedback on the proposed new service? This would take the form of a
short 15 minutes questionnaire by telephone in June, and at a time and date
convenient to you. This feedback will help shape the new service.
If you are interested in supporting this research, please ring:
020 8587 8185
And provide us with the following information:
Your full name
Daytime telephone number
Alternative telephone number
Once you have provided these details, we will contact you to carry out the
questionnaire, or arrange a suitable time for this to take place.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation and support.
