The Association for the Blind of Western Australia and Curtin University of Technology are pleased to announce the availability of DaisyWorm. DaisyWorm is a simple yet powerful DAISY audio book reader app for the Apple iPhone supporting the 2.02, 2002 and 2005 formats with full or partial audio. Full information can be found at:

Cost is A$4.99 Australian or about US$4.50 in U.S. Dollars.

DaisyWorm will play non-protected DAISY full audio and full text/full audio books on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. 

This includes books from the talking book library of Association for the Blind of Western Australia http://www.guidedogswa.org/ 

The Vision Australia library

As well as the talking books libraries of the CNIB in Canada, RNIB in the United Kingdom and RNZFB in New Zealand and TPB in Sweden. As well as most other talking book libraries world wide.

At this time DaisyWorm is unable to play digital talking books from the U.S. National Library Service or Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic in the United States due to the use of digital rights management schemes by those agencies.

Future free upgrades will include user bookmarks, playback speed control and support for DAISY text only books.

Please feel free to share this information or to contact me for more information.
