Creating the Best Way to Read and Publish

Transition from DAISY to EPUB 3

How is it different from the migration of the publishers?

• Input formats are different (DTBook & other legacy formats)
• Output is required in multiple formats (EPUB 3, DAISY 3, DAISY 2.02)
• Audio books still constitute most of the DAISY production
• Integration of advance accessibility features like image descriptions
• Needs of the users are different (Senior citizens, dyslexic etc.)
• Accessibility of tools for print disabled production staff
• Making EPUB 3 a world wide phenomena

Creating the Best Way to Read and Publish

Solution?

• Upgrade the existing open source DAISY tools to EPUB 3
• Contribute to the similar open source initiatives for ensuring

accessibility
