The Potential of Wikis for Producing DTBook ContentsBernier, Alex, Burger, Dominique, Marmol, Bruno 12 July 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Wikis are widely used by communities to create and update documents on the Web. This presentation describes the potential of Wikis for producing DAISY (more precisely DTBook) contents. We discuss how to convert existing Wiki contents into DTBook. We also examine how DAISY content producers could use Wikis as an easy and free tool to collaboratively edit their documents. The case of MediaWiki is studied (this Wiki software is used by Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wikibooks, …). We describe how to expand its functionalities as to make possible the importation and exportation of DTbook contents.

Liblouis – A universal solution for Braille transcription servicesEgli, Christian 15 June 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Software support for the generation of good Braille has historically been hampered by fragmented and small markets. Some languages have good commercial support, others are lacking. Fortunately Liblouis, an open source tool for complete Braille transcription services, is emerging as a universal solution. Liblouis provides Braille translation for literary and computer Braille, offers support for contracted and uncontracted translation for many languages and includes support for Braille mathematics codes such as Nemeth. Liblouis also provides Braille formatting, which can handle many document formats including DTBook XML. Both the translation and the formatting can easily be adapted to new languages and document formats.
This paper shows how Liblouis will be used at the Swiss Library for the Blind and Visually Impaired to integrate Braille generation into a production workflow based around DTBook XML.

DAISY Producer: An integrated production management system for accessible mediaEgli, Christian 15 June 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Large scale production of accessible media above and beyond DAISY Talking Books requires management of the workflow from the initial scan to the output of the media production. DAISY Producer was created to help manage this process. It tracks the transformation of hard copy or electronic content to DTBook XML at any stage of the workflow and interfaces to existing order processing systems. Making use of DAISY Pipeline and Liblouis, DAISY Producer fully automates the generation of on-demand, user-specific DAISY Talking Books, Large Print and Braille. This paper introduces DAISY Producer and shows how creators of accessible media can benefit from this open source tool.
