>The ReadHear DAISY and Digital EBook player for OSX has just undergone a
>major update. This update resolves the very big and very irritating issue of
>sentences been read repeatedly in DAISY 2 and DAISY 20.2 documents. A
>number of other bug fixes were also added.
>
>Although the OLearia DAISY player is freeware and, as such, should certainly
>not be discounted, in my humble opinion, ReadHear is now the best all-round
>software DAISY player on the OSX platform.
>
>Built from the ground up with accessibility in mind, it has several 
>functions which
>oLearia doesn't which, personally, we find very convenient.
>
>In particular the library function which, although not as flexible 
>as we'd like
>to see it yet, is quite a powerful function. It allows you to scroll through a
>book or document list and have bookmarks stored for each document in
>your book library.
>
>I will be writing to the developers shortly; as I have lot of suggestions
>for them.
>
>But for now, what we have is a good little player, although as I said
>at the start, Olearia does a nice job. ReadHear's interface is, to be
>honest, much more intuitive and interactive.
