Thank you all for your feedback! I'll give stanza a try and see how well it works. I've tried renaming files with the xml extention to html, and it didn't quite work out. I wanted the xml version of the file converted, as this would preserve any formatting attributes found in the DAISY content. As

I do believe that Calibre while inaccessible with screen readers can still be used to convert using the command line prompt. I haven't given it a try, but I have heard of others fiddling with it and getting it to work. You may also want to give that a try. -Original Message- From:

Right, you have to open the xml with a web browser, copy the text to the clipboard, and then press alt f to get in to the file menu and choose create new from clipboard. The shortcut keys for various things don't seem to work, but you can access the menu structure through the one that does work,
