Daisy and the Trouble with... is the perfect step towards chapter book reading for readers ages 5+! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time' – Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones and the Six Audio versions of module materials can be useful when you're on the move, on your daily commute, when travelling, or when away from home. You can also listen while doing other activities, such as household chores.
Our Talking Books are available on DAISY CDs that hold around 25 hours of audio, all playable on the DAISY player of your choice. They’re loaded with chapters and sections so that our members can jump around the text at will – giving blind and partially sighted people the same reading opportunities as sighted people. What makes DAISY so useful? Wow! Echoes of Christie's And Then There Were None but turned into something wonderfully original and wrapped in a genuinely creepy dysfunctional family fairy tale of a novel, this takes Feeney to the next level. LOVED IT! We will continue to send out Talking Books on CD at the reading rate of each reader. An avid reader will continue to receive frequent books and an occasional reader will receive fewer books at the same speed they currently do now. Digital Talking Books (DTB) go far beyond the limits imposed on analog audio books because they can include not just the audio rendition of the work, but also the full textual content and images. Because the textual content file is synchronized with the audio file, a DTB offers multiple sensory inputs to readers, a great benefit to, for example, learning-disabled readers. Some visually impaired readers may choose to listen to most of the book, but find that inspecting the images provides information not available in the narrative flow. Others may opt to skip the audio presentation altogether and instead view the text file via screen-enlarging software. Braille readers may prefer to read some or all of the document via a refreshable Braille display device connected to their DTB player and accessing the textual content file. DTBs containing a textual content file but no audio material might be accessed via synthetic speech, screen-enlarging software, or a Braille device.Whatever the reason, there are several options available to consider when working with your Open University (OU) module materials.

From the brilliant creator and bestselling author of the Oi books, Kes Gray, Daisy and the Trouble with... is a brilliant series that will be the perfect next step for readers who are starting to read independently. The DAISY Specification offers a flexible and navigable reading experience for people who are blind or print disabled. The current version of the specification DAISY 3 is also a NISO Standard for digital talking books (DTB) which offers the print-disabled user a significantly enhanced reading experience—one that is much closer to that of the sighted reader using a print book.

About RNIB
Daisy Darker is an all-consuming tale of psychological suspense with a spectacular twist from the internationally bestselling author Alice Feeney, inspired by Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None.
So many nasty secrets. And that's before the bodies start to pile up! I've always been an Alice Feeney fan - but I think she's outdone herself with this startling murderfest! Not yet! Internet Archive books are text-only, and thus can only be listened to with software or devices that do their own text-to-speech conversion. The new NLS player plays only books with included audio and thus can't play our books. We are looking at producing DAISY books with included text-to-speech audio in the future. Save As DAISY—created to allow people to easily produce DAISY Format material from structured MS Word documents.
