Ottawa Canada I've used DAISY books for a couple of years now on a Victor Reader and can explain about their structure.
A DAISY book can have many, like up to six I think, levels of indexing. However the indices available depend entirely on what the recording studio decided to put into the title. A DAISY book that started out on tape and was just copied to Cd probably has one level of indexing: Chapter level. That is, you can select a Chapter from the navigation keys but not say a Paragraph or sub-chapter. The book may have a page index and if it does, you can jump to the beginning of a page by keying its number in after you press the go to page button. A magazine like The Reader's Digest typically has four heading levels: Section Article Item within an article and Sub-item within an article. It generally does Not have a Page Index. A Newspaper would probably be indexed: Section E.g. News, Sports, Business, Travel, Article And maybe item within an article. In addition, DAISY books usually have Phrase indexing, and a phrase is roughly a sentence. So if you find titles you read, like newspapers or magazines lack the kind of indexing you would like, ask the producer of the DAISY title if they can include the kind of index you want. Happy reading. Brian -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
