3.3. Types of DAISY book.
The DAISY format allows for 6 types of DAISY book, which range
from audio books with no navigation structure to books with text and
no audio. A brief description of each type is given below:
Type 1 - Audio without structure: The simplest type of book.
Direct navigation to the points within the book is not capable.
Type 2 - Audio and structure: A marked up text file contains
the structure of the book and provides links to features such as
headings and page numbers. This allows the reader to
navigate directly to those points. The marked up file is called
the Table of Contents or ToC.
Type 3 - Audio with structure and partial text: As well as
containing the structure, the marked up file contains some text
from the book, for example, for a glossary or index. If listening
to the book on a pc the text will appear on screen and the
reader will be able to search for words within the text.
Type 4 - Audio and full text: This is the most time consuming
type of book to produce but provides the most accessibility.
Audio and text are fully synchronised throughout the book, so
that the correct text appears on screen as the audio is being
read.
Type 5 - Full text and partial audio: the book has structure and
complete text but only limited audio. The marked up file
contains the structure and the text of the book, but there is only
audio for part of the text.
Type 6 - Full text and no audio: This is electronic text structure;
there are no audio files.
3.4. DAISY navigation features.
The DAISY format gives the reader a number of options about how to
navigate a DAISY book. This section gives brief details about the
most common navigation features.
