Daisy is a world standard for the transcription of books into an audio format which allows a user to hear the book from the recorded audio. Books are supplied on a CD and contains the audio in a compressed format called MP3.

 Whilst the recordings are in the common MP3 format the Daisy concept does not use the recorded files in a continuous playing order. Instead the producer of the CD can control how the sections are played, thereby maintaining some encryption capability.

The Daisy format uses sequenced recorded segments which are played under control of the software. The Portset Daisy Player examines the producers control sequences and then creates the true audio reproduction.

The Portset Daisy Player provides voiced commands using voice synthesis.

The voiced commands and instructions from voice synthesis can be either a Sapi4 or Sapi5 voice which is normally supplied as part of the computer or using Portset high quality voice, Jane.

 Portset’s Daisy Player is one of the lowest priced players on the market.  supplied on CD of either Sapi compliant or a version with Jane as the instruction and information voice.
