This application creates a text only DAISY book. The output folder contains
many SMIL files and files named NCC.HTML and Content.HTML. It does not
contain any audio file and therefore it will not play in MP3 players or in
ANGEL for that matter.
Software players for the PC like AMIS, FS Reader and Easy Reader can be used
to play these books. All these softwares have the option of choosing the TTS
voice. For example, in AMIS go to File menu and then Preferences. You will
see a list of TTS voices installed on your computer. You can choose any of
the voices. If you have not installed any additional TTS like the Lekha,
Sangeeta, DANIEL etc then you will see only Microsoft voices like SAM and
MARY.
The content.html file present in the folder contains all the text of the
book in HTML format and it can be read in hardware players like the Victor
Reader and even Angel using the built in TTS voices.
Thanks,
Prashant

it is possible to use different TTS. the daisy book is text only type
daisy book. if you are using amis or tab player then go to options
and select diifferent TTS voice. inportant is you should have TTS
voices installed on your PC

Hi!
I also tri the program. But one thing I note in the same is it uses
narator's voice. So I would like to know that can we change the TTS?
Because
narator is unbairable.
Thanks and regards,
Rohiet

Hello,
I tried this program. It is really a good service where lot of
automation is happening in the background and we get a very accessible
output format for reading newspapers.
AccessibleNews Daisy is similar to Accessible WebbIE RSS news reader.
WebbIE is a free web browser for blind and visually-impaired people.
Once you install it you get many accessible programs. One of the
sub-program of WebbIE is RSS News Reader.
In Accessiblenews we get daisy format book in our hard disk folder.
In case of WebbIE there is a separate application window to add and
read RSS.
One good point is on the website of AccessibleNews they already have
many RSS feeds. You just need to check the check box. I subscribed
to 4 such feeds like Times of India headlines, Google, Freedom
Scientific, etc.
One suggestion for AccessibleNews is it creates a single daisy book
for all selected RSS. For few RSS it is okay but for more number of
subscribed RSS feeds, book becomes heavy and takes time to load. Also
navigation becomes slow. So I think multiple daisy books creation can
be done by AccessibleNews if RSS feeds are beyond 5-6.
Allow at the PC start up synchronization of RSS feeds if PC is
connected to internet with a message “Would you like to sync….”
So friends try it and give your valuable feedbacks to developers.
Regards,
Prashant Naik
