The question you are asking makes sense. The answer will have to come from
bookshare. I suspect the solution make involve co-operation at an official
level between the makers of scanning software and the makers of the
software used to produce daisy books.

There has been something playing in the back of my mind since last evening. I suspect that most of us on this list read BookShare books not using the available downloading Daisy program. I am wondering if the stripper somehow and in some way prepares the books for use with that downloadable player. If it does, and if the stripper were summarily danned and not available as an option to readers, that could be a major headache for BookShare and Benetech. Folks, before jumping on me, keep in mind I am brainstorming and asking a question and not offering an opinion. Personally, I have no use for the stripper; but there has to be a reason(s) that Benetech feels compelled to defend and hold on to it. And if we knew the reasoning, that would give everyone a starting point.
