http://www.globalchange.com Emotion is more important than technology, gadgets, gizmos or inventions. Emotion is what will drive the future because it dictates how people feel and how they live. That’s why market research is unreliable when it comes to future predictions – because people don’t know how they will feel in future in response – say – to a terror attack or some new techno advance they never anticipated.

Technology for an online digital talking book player. Targeted to the visually impaired but could have wider benefit for others with a disability and non-readers.
Twelve students have been selected for the NZ DAISY (Digital Accessible Information SYstem) books and textbook pilot study, and trained in using DAISY books. The project has researched synthetic speech tools and developed a production process for converting print books into DAISY with synchronised electronic text and synthetic audio. It has also digitised historic analogue audio books from the library collection and upgraded these to full-text DAISY format. We have trained a textbook producer and begun producing textbooks for students in both DAISY and their usual accessible format – braille or large print.
