Hi, Richard,
Are you not the Richard I know from first for-the-people and more
recently from anohter chat site?
NLS is short for "National Library Service" and it traditionally had
audio books on 4-track tapes that required special hardware players
to play the cassette tapes. more recently they have gone to digital
audio books that either come on cartridges for their hproprietary
players or such players like the Victor Stream.
you cannot play the nls books with windows media player but they are
talking books.
the jaws tutorials can be had in either daisy or mp3 format. If you
are more comfortable using Winamp or windows media player, you can
get them in mp3 format and use them that way.
And sorry if I got you mixed up with another Richard.

Dear Sir Richard,
The jaws tutoirals and help files FS puts out come in daisy format.
"Daisy" is an accessible audio and/or text that provides for easy
navigation by the reader. If you get nls contnet from the BARD
download site, this is in daisy format also. While nls content
requires a hardware player, many daisy books can be read on the
computer. the FS reader program that comes budnled with jaws is
such a daisy player program. Once you get the hang of it, you'll
appreciate it I am sure.

Hi all;
I apologize if this question is too basic.
I've noticed on the "updates" list in 13.0, many topics to
update had "Daisy book" at the end.
For example, Convenient OCR daisy book.
Could someone explain what that means?
Is that update only to be used when using "daisy book"?
What is Daisy books?
Thank you for the enlightenment!
Rich
