What does DAISY stand for?
DAISY stands for Digital Accessible Information System. Originally intended as a replacement
for audio tapes for visually impaired people, the books and information are now used
by people with various reading disabilities. DAISY is a worldwide accessible information
system developed and maintained by the Daisy Consortium, an international collaborative
development organization.
What is multimedia DAISY?
While listening to audio via computer, it is possible to simultaneously view drawings and
pictures. Since the portion being read is highlighted, it is possible to know what section is
being read. It is also possible to change the speed of the audio and jump to dierent pages.
