MathDaisy works with Microsoft Word,
Microsoft's Save As DAISY add-in, and
MathType. As you might guess from its name, Save
As DAISY adds a "Save As DAISY" menu item to
Word's File menu. This command saves the
document as a DAISY Digital Talking Book ready
to be used in an eBook reader. MathDaisy
enhances the Word-to-DAISY conversion process,
converting the equations in the document to
MathML as required by the DAISY format.
|
You must have the following
software to produce accessible documents from Word that
contain math:
Word must be installed first followed by the others
in any order.
|
MathDaisy will work with
Equation Editor and MathType equations, as well as those
created using the Word 2007/Office 2010 equation feature. Of
course, we recommend MathType for consistent results and
all of its advanced features.
|
To read a DAISY file (called a
DAISY Book) produced by MathDaisy and Save As DAISY, you
need a MathPlayer-enabled DAISY player for the best
reading experience. See the next
item.
|
For the best reading experience,
you need a MathPlayer-enabled
DAISY player. This is a software application running on
either a personal computer or dedicated ebook reader
that reads a DAISY file (DAISY Book) and presents the
content to the user. It needs to be MathPlayer-enabled
in order to read the math with the greatest amount of
functionality and control. Please check the
Which DAISY player works best?
section of our DAISY for Students page for a list of
compatible players or check with AT vendors directly.
|
At this time, English is the only
language supported. If you are interested in support of
other languages, please contact our
sales department.

Microsoft's Save As DAISY add-in which requires Microsoft
Word 2010, 2007, or 2003.

computer that runs a version of Microsoft Word
compatible with Save As DAISY. See the previous item.
