Daisy Player - HIMS Braille Sense U2 User Manual

12. DAISY Player

Using the Daisy player, on the Braille Sense U2, you can listen to files
and read books that use the DAISY format. DAISY is an acronym for
(DIGITAL ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION SYSTEM). One advantage to
DAISY books is that you can listen to the audio as well as read the
associated text with the audio in books where both text and audio are
present. The Braille Sense U2 supports DAISY books that are version
3.0 or earlier.
The DAISY player also supports DAISY content from specialized service
providers, such as books from NLS, BookShare, and the Open library.
The DAISY Player supports the following book types:
- DAISY 2.0/2.02/3.0, DAISY XML/Digital Talking Book.
- ANSI/NISO Z39.86 2002, 2005.
- NLS contents. (3gp, AMR-WB+)
- Bookshare.org DAISY contents.
- NIMAS 1.1
- DRM: supports 2006 PDTB2 authentication.
- Archive (open library)
Note: To access content from services such as BookShare and the
National Library Service, you must sign up for these services, meet all
eligibility requirements, and pay any associated fees if applicable.
