Hi There, He wanted a system for markup. The Mac system can do this. All needed information is avaible free of charge and can be used publically. The system is customizable. I do admitt it is not crossplatform, but it can be used as a starting place if one has access to a Mac. Furthermore, any encoding/markup he chosses will be bound to one program or the other. Also, it should be his decision if want I suggest will fit his needs or not. To my knowledge DAISY is not what he wants either!! flame someone else!!! Keith.

Yes, and it isn't open source, cross platform, or especially useful to anyone without a Mac. I for one can't use it because I don't have a Mac, and even if I did the built-in screen reader isn't perfect so I'm not sure how accessible it is. Also he didn't necessarily want actual audio output, only a means of which files could be created so users could make their own output if they wish. See my previous discussion about DAISY.

If you have a Mac it will read it for you. You can also customize the dictionary. There is also a programming interface if you really want high quality output, you can even create your own voices.
I personally have not played with it. It has been around for a long time.
