Subject: Re: Changing or defining DAISY title
Besides all the good suggestions and laments thus far, my only
contribution is to suggest using the PRS software, some may have a
free copy from owning the PTR1 or 2, or it's available for purchase.
I find it really helpful in a number of ways but it can easily allow
one to insert an MP3 file anywhere in the Daisy title. I often use
Text Aloud to turn a small text file into an MP3 file which I then
insert as title or subtitles in a Daisy book.
HTH,
Jeff
