Hi thanks for this, we have a book scanner and the appropriate software
so no this isn't what I was referring to, the students want the books in
electronic not audio format.

Hi
Are you referring to audio format, daisy books?
Recently a drop in day from Dolphin Computer Access at the RNIB
demonstrated "Producer" A piece of software, very simple but completely
does the job. Basically, literally at the click of a button it allows
you to create either material copied, scanned, written yourself, into a
daisy book.
You can also put it onto MP3 so you can walk around listening to the
book on your mps player!
Complete success with visually impaired, as its affordable and simple.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

Has anyone had any success getting books electronically, I've emailed
the publishers at permissions @ Pearson and the RNIB library, no
response from either, principally I am looking for books to support
visually impaired students on Business and computing courses, electronic
versions preferable. Anyone got any good ideas?
