FSReader for Desktop Update Version 1.10.013 What is FSReader? FSReader allows users to easily read digital talking books and e-books produced in the Digital Accessible Information System (DAISY) format on a desktop or laptop computer. Readers can navigate to sections of a book by browsing headings or flipping pages, can set multiple bookmarks, and can resume reading where they left off when a book is reopened. In books that contain audio narration, users can fast forward, rewind, and even adjust the speed of the narrator. FSReader and RFB&D Talking Books Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic® (RFB&D) is a national non-profit organization that provides digital talking books, including a wide range of educational textbooks, to students and other individuals who are visually impaired or have other reading disabilities. Their library of both digital and analog books includes over 100,000 titles. Since material is only available to qualifying members, RFB&D AudioPlus® books are protected so they cannot play with just any DAISY player. To access RFB&D’s AudioPlus books with FSReader, users will need a special User Authorization Key (UAK) available from RFB&D on April 10, 2006 by calling 800-221-4792. PLEASE NOTE: RFB&D will only provide and support the UAK. Users must first purchase the FSReader software directly from Freedom Scientific. Support for RFB&D talking books is currently available only for the desktop version of FSReader. Support for the PAC Mate™ version of FSReader will be available later this year. What Does It Cost?
