[Dtb-talk] Bookshare to DTBook scripts and programs

[Greg Kearney]

For those interested in testing my bso2dtbook program here is a link  
to download some of the version. I am working on a self contained .exe  
for Windows as well.

The perl script is just the generic version should work on any  
computer with Perl installed the arguments are the path to the  
Bookshare XML file and the path to where the DTBook XML file should be  
placed. I will try and make the whole command line interface better  
with help and what not latter.

The two Mac version are a bit more refined and have an accessible GUI.  
The first is small and just build the DTBook XML file for use in the  
Daisy Pipeline. The second has the Pipeline included and will ask if  
you want to generate the Daisy book. If you do the finished full text/ 
full audio book will be made using the systems default voice.

Please note that books produced in this manner are under the same  
copyright restrictions as the original Bookshare titles and all water  
marking is left in place. You should also install the Daisy Pipeline  
and related tools.

All of the files can be found here: http://www.cucat.org/projects/bso2dtbook/index.php
