DAISY is a format based on the W3C defined SGML applications XHTML 1.0 and SMIL 1.0. Using this framework, a talking book format is presented that enables navigation within a sequential and hierarchical structure consisting of (marked-up) text synchronized with audio. The DAISY acronym stands for "Digital Accessible Information SYstem" and assists people who, for different reasons, have problems using regular printed media. DAISY books have the benefits of regular audio books, but they are superior when it comes to navigating the content and displaying synchronized text. For example, DAISY books can enable users who are blind to navigate an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia as a regular audio book would be useless because it lacks search and navigation features and requires a linear listen.
