Bookshare provides a format called Daisy text. In the zip archive is a
.XML file which is the actual text itself.
i am not a braille user, but do wonder if you loaded the XML file into
something like tables if it could be read that way?
Personally I take mine, load them into a browser, save them as text and
read them in my word processor.

These are DAISY books from bookshare.org <http://bookshare.org/>, hence I
can???t read them in books app or Preview or some such.

Hi,
Haven???t tried it on the Mac with dreamreader but would the books app not work
for what you want or even reading the document in something like preview or
even pages/word - I guess it depends on the format of the book you are reading

Yes, when I hit the spacebar, Voice Dream Reader for Desktop begins to read the
book but I can???t locate the text which it is reading and thus I can???t mute
voiceover and read by using my refreshable Braille display. I have asked the
developer but he doesn???t seem to know as he says he doesn???t have a Braille
display. This is a bit of a drawback for me as I like on occasion to read
quietly; reading using Braille is a completely different experience for me. I
think on an IPhone one can use a Braille display and you can actually touch the
text with your finger. On the mac, I can???t find the text being read anywhere.

Hello,
Is it possible to read books and documents imported to voice dream reader for
mac desktop using refreshable Braille display?
I???ve been trying to find a way to do this but have thus far failed.
