What is MathDaisy ?

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.

What is Daisy ?

DAISY stands for Digital Accessible Information SYstem and is a standard for producing accessible and navigable multimedia documents. This includes Digital Talking Books, digital text books, and synchronized audio/text books. DAISY is a globally recognized standard for accessible content and is part of NIMAS (National Instructional Materials AccessibilityStandard).

NIMAS/DAISY is part of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) reauthorized by the US Congress in 2004. It recommends that state educational agencies supply educational materials in the NIMAS/DAISY format to those students that need them. The impact of this legislation is just starting to be felt. Besides requiring teachers to produce accessible materials, all the major textbook makers are gearing up to produce books in the DAISY Book format.
