Subject: [macvoiceover] Answering a few questions about Daisy Bookworm for iPhone
Reply-To: [log in to unmask]

I'll try and answer a few questions that have come up about Daisy Bookworm for iPhone

Loading Books
Loading books is done via an FTP connection between your computer and the iPhone Daisy Bookworm has a built in FTP server which you connect to and then upload the book's directory to the phone using any FTP client on any computer. Needless to say you need a wireless network to connect the phone to. You do not need your own FTP server, Daisy Bookworm has a built in FTP server.

Book compatibility
Daisy Bookworm for iPhone will read any audio only and full text full audio unencrypted DAISY book. This includes books from Association for the Blind of Western Australia, Vision Australia, RNZFB, CNIB, RNIB, TPB and most other world talking book libraries. It will not read NLS encrypted books. We have asked the NLS about how to have these devices authorised but have yet to receive any reply. We are working on RFB&D playback and text only DAISY playback (Bookshare) in the next release.

Accessibility
Daisy Bookworm for iPhone is fully accessible with VoiceOver screen reader.

iPad
Daisy Bookworm is compatible with the Apple iPad.

Where do you get Daisy Bookworm
Daisy Bookworm will be available this summer from the iTunes App Store. It will cost less than $5 when released.

Is this Voice of Daisy
No. Voice of Daisy or VOD is a different program from a different developer in Japan.

Hope this clears things up.
