[Electronics-Talk] software application to read Daisy format on a pc or phone

[Tracy Carcione]

I have had good success with textbooks by unzipping a Daisy file into its
own folder, then opening the xml portion by hitting enter on it.  It opens
in my web browser, and I can use the usual browser commands to move by
header, etc.  In the books I've used this method for, chapters, sections,
and subsections all have headers at different levels, so it's easy to move
around.
The browser uses Jaws, so I have access to my braille display besides the
speech.  I use this method to read programming textbooks, so I want all the
information I can get.

Hello, I hope everyone is doing okay in this virus pandemic. 
There are lots of good discussions on this list. Thanks to all of you.
So here is a question, hopefully some of you will have some suggestions.
Who can steer me to their favorite application to read Daisy format e-text
on their pc or phone?
One that navigates well using a screen reader.
One that navigates nicely from the headings and pages, as well as
paragraphs.
I've been using the FSReader program that comes with JAWS for years. But I
hear there are others, too.
And if you don't mind, where does one go to acquire it.

Thanks.
Rik J
