[gui-talk] Fwd: FreedomScientific announces Free DAISY player

Tue Aug 11 19:21:48 UTC 2009

Wayne,

Well, I don't use this Notetaker device. but I am on the NFB Newsline 
service, and if I had an easy-to-use Daisy player, even if only on my PC, it 
would be a convenience because then I could send New Yorker articles to 
myself via email and then read them with Daisy. Whereas, lacking a Daisy 
reader, I have to read them online with Jaws at the Newsline site but hurry 
up because only two week's editions are kept posted at any one time. -----

IMO, whenever any of the notetakers add the ability to play nLS
protected books on their Daisy players then the notetaker
manufacturers will really see their Daisy software get popular among
the masses.
