Dolphin release EasyReader Express to deliver instant DAISY talking books

01-Sep-2010


Dolphin Computer Access is delighted to announce the availability of 
a new and exciting web-based subscription service, EasyReader Express.

EasyReader Express enables DAISY talking book providers to 'add' an 
Express version of EasyReader to their DAISY talking books. With 
EasyReader Express added, readers with vision impairments and 
dyslexia can instantly open the DAISY talking book on their PC in a 
fully accessible, zero install reader.

Ideal for Publishers of DAISY talking books, professional 
transcription services, and DAISY talking book libraries, EasyReader 
Express ensures that all readers have instant access to DAISY talking books.


Deliver instant DAISY with EasyReader Express

EasyReader Express not only enables DAISY talking book providers to 
reach a wider audience of readers with vision impairments and 
dyslexia, but also provides instant and seamless access to DAISY 
talking books. With EasyReader Express added, readers can instantly 
open their book in a PC with EasyReader Express, or still use their 
preferred DAISY player.

EasyReader Express is becoming an instant hit with DAISY talking book 
providers, as Dolphin's AltFormat Product Manager Mattias Karlsson explains:

The benefits offered by DAISY's navigation and synchronized text and 
speech are well documented, but a problem has always existed that 
readers need their own player to read a DAISY book. With EasyReader 
Express added, DAISY talking books can be opened on any PC, with or 
without a software player."
