About DAISY (For DM-4)
Windows Macintosh
What does DAISY stand for?
DAISY stands for Digital Accessible Information System. Originally intended as a replacement
for audio tapes for visually impaired people, the books and information are now used
by people with various reading disabilities. DAISY is a worldwide accessible information
system developed and maintained by the Daisy Consortium, an international collaborative
development organization.
What is multimedia DAISY?
While listening to audio via computer, it is possible to simultaneously view drawings and
pictures. Since the portion being read is highlighted, it is possible to know what section is
being read. It is also possible to change the speed of the audio and jump to different pages.
There are children and students studying with multimedia DAISY as learning materials.
How do you play multimedia DAISY?
After installing the “Olympus Sonority” software supplied with this recorder onto a computer (☞
P.125), select the [DAISY tray] folder from the browser window, and then press the play button to
experience multimedia DAISY. During playback, it is possible to skip text and headings, as well
as quickly jump to a section by clicking it. If a bookmark is set in advance, it is also possible to
start playback from that position at any time. For more details, please see “Playing contents”
(☞ P.144).
