Pratsam Reader Web

Easy to use DAISY reader web app

Pratsam Reader Web is an accessible digital talking book player customized for use by the visually impaired and those with print disabilities.

The player supports the international DAISY standard, works with common web browsers and does not require installation. The DAISY player web app is consequently very easy for new users to use.

Users can open the player by clicking on an icon, a link sent by e-mail or on a website. Pratsam Reader Web can also be integrated as a 'Listen to the article'-button on a webpage, for instance when the user finds an article on the internet. Because playback is streamed from Pratsam Server, the accessible book or publication can be played immediately once opened.

The player displays text and pictures when the audio is played to the end user. Reader Web shows the current sentence highlited when listening, which makes it easier for some user to assimilate the text.
