AccessibleNews DAISY: newspapers in DAISY

Published: 28 March 2011 Publication History

Abstract

Reading newspapers and magazines becomes difficult and dreary task for people with visual impairment and print disabilities. As a result, this important avenue for increasing awareness and knowledge remains largely closed to such people. In this paper, we describe an elegant solution to this challenge - the AccessibleNews DAISY software developed by Accessible Systems, an Assistive Technology firm based in Mumbai, India.
