It's here! Beta DAISY for Word 2010

Save as DAISY for Office 2010 helps you convert Word Open XML files to the Digital Accessible Information System (DAISY) format.

Save As DAISY menu

DAISY powers digital talking books and compatible software and Braille readers for people with print disabilities or limited vision. This beta supports Office 2010, 2007, and 2003.

The DAISY beta works in all the languages that Office 2010 currently supports, and it's managed as an open source collaboration through the SourceForge project.

Want to get started? You can download the beta, and you can find more information about DAISY and the STAMP accessibility add-in for PowerPoint 2010.

  • Joannie, I am not familiar with blogging at all. Say I want to ask a question unrelated to the "Daisy Thing", what do I do?  Don't want my question to go un-seen because it is a comment attached to a blog.

  • Nicki --

    Welcome to blogging. A great way to get an answer to your question is to ask it on answers.microsoft.com. You can search the site to see whether someone has already answered the same question.

    Another option is to search this blog for an answer or a related post, and ask your question there. Finally, you can ask the question, right here on this page--but that can be slower than finding an answer that's already out there.

    Thanks for stopping by.

  • Hi Joannie!

    I'm so sorry but the file "DAISY Source 2_5_0_0 BETA" just contains the source and not any installation or *.exe file :(

    Ahh!! now i've got it... i must go to  "Project home" and there click at "download" and then click at "DAISYTranslator Word Add-Ins" and then click at "Release 2.5 Beta" and then choose the right version.

    I clicked at the "green"  button at first site and the file just contains the source :)

    Now i try again.

    Thanks for help :)
