Exploiting the Daisy Format for Automated, Single-Source Braille Publishing

This paper presents the background and status of the projects and discusses opportunities and challenges of the AutoBraille/NorBraille approach of using Daisy talking books as the foundation for creating well-formatted, multi-volume Braille books ready for embossing. Whereas the current R&D projects are limited to relatively simple document structures, preliminary research suggests that it will be possible to automatically process even complicated math and science titles.
