Microsoft Grows DAISY for Blind Computer Users While Adobe Wilts

May 2008

Microsoft has announced the availability of a plug-in that allows Word 2007, 2003, and XP users to save documents in the Digital Accessible Information SYstem (DAISY) XML format. Microsoft's Reed Shaffner says DAISY XML eventually may be ported to versions of OpenOffice.org that support Office Open XML OOXML. The DAISY plug-in is currently being hosted on SourceForge as an open-source project.
