[Electronics-Talk] Playing DAISY Materials

Wed Aug 2 08:13:49 UTC 2017

Hi Dave,

How would I get it from the catalog which is on the computer to that kind of format as I only have an iPhone. That is all that I have because my Mac died and I refuse to pay a crap load of more money for a new computer, and screen reader. I just don't have it to do.

Not trying to be difficult but I just wanted to ask. That is also the challenge but I am running into.

Jenny
