WEBVTT 00:00:01.310 --> 00:00:08.799 Welcome to the third Save As DAISY tutorial for Microsoft Word 2010. In previous tutorials 00:00:08.799 --> 00:00:14.760 I’ve explored how to download and install the Save As DAISY Add In and how to use the 00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:20.839 Add In to create a digital talking book in Word 2010. 00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:28.650 In this tutorial I will demonstrate how the files can be read back using a DAISY reader. 00:00:28.650 --> 00:00:35.360 A great deal has changed in the past couple of years. In the past DAISY Readers tended 00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:44.660 rely on digital books in CD format which required a hardware device such as the Plextalk player 00:00:44.660 --> 00:00:50.330 and reader. And while these are still available a great 00:00:50.330 --> 00:00:56.990 deal has changed, in particular the size and range of devices that can now play and read 00:00:56.990 --> 00:01:05.140 aloud the DAISY format. As you can see from this slide DAISY digital readers are now available 00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:20.939 on a desktop computer, a CD device, hand held devices, mobile phones and even on the Internet. 00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:35.119 A visit to the DAISY Consortium website also reflects the diverse nature of devices available 00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:42.009 to play DAISY content. But for the purpose of this tutorial I’m 00:01:42.009 --> 00:01:49.959 going to look at AMIS, a free to download DAISY Reader which runs on a computer. AMIS 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:57.060 is a software program that you can use to read DAISY books. It is self-voicing, meaning 00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:02.259 that no specialised screen-reading software is needed in order for it to be used by visually 00:02:02.259 --> 00:02:09.509 impaired people. So here is AMIS and I’m going to go to the 00:02:09.509 --> 00:02:17.430 Help file and Contents and open the default DAISY Book so you can see some of the basic 00:02:17.430 --> 00:02:27.530 features. On the left hand side you can the heading structures, so important to allow 00:02:27.530 --> 00:02:34.480 navigation, and there are also options to change the speed of the reading voice as well 00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:43.829 as colour options, magnification and even bookmarks to revisit favourite or important 00:02:43.829 --> 00:02:50.299 parts of the book or even to start reading where you finished last. 00:02:50.299 --> 00:02:57.200 Note too that in the menus everything can be controlled via the keyboard, this is particularly 00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:02.200 important for those users who only use the keyboard to access and navigate content on 00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:08.209 a computer. Okay, so I’m going to open the DAISY Book 00:03:08.209 --> 00:03:15.030 that I created in the last tutorial. In the File menu there are options to open the DAISY 00:03:15.030 --> 00:03:21.549 Book from a CD and even from the Internet so there is a great deal of flexibility on 00:03:21.549 --> 00:03:29.849 how you can store and access a DAISY Book. Now in the last tutorial I saved the talking 00:03:29.849 --> 00:03:37.819 book to the desktop. So by going to File and Open and navigating to the desktop I can see 00:03:37.819 --> 00:03:47.569 the folder My Talking Books. Inside the folder there are two other folders. 00:03:47.569 --> 00:03:55.079 Both are DAISY compatible, the DAISY 202 folder is for those users who have or prefer to use 00:03:55.079 --> 00:04:05.540 older DAISY reading devices which use the ‘ncc’ format while the z3986 is a more 00:04:05.540 --> 00:04:14.939 recent format of DAISY, that is the opf and ncx –these are the files are used to open 00:04:14.939 --> 00:04:23.580 a DAISY book. Fortunately AMIS will read both formats. 00:04:23.580 --> 00:04:46.750 So now AMIS is reading the conversion form earlier. Now I’m not sure if you can hear 00:04:46.750 --> 00:04:53.270 the voice that is reading just now, but I’m using a Scottish computer voice called Heather. 00:04:53.270 --> 00:05:00.130 This is because I’ve my default voice as Heather. When you use the Save As DAISY Add 00:05:00.130 --> 00:05:08.889 In for Word, the default voice on your computer system is used to generate the audio files. 00:05:08.889 --> 00:05:14.090 In the next tutorial I’ll show you how to change and set the default voice on your computer 00:05:14.090 --> 00:05:15.860 system. 00:05:15.860 --> 99:59:59.999 Thank you for watching.
