This page is the instructions for how to use Converter Plus (formally NAC). As this is an ongoing project, this page is subject to updates as we improve the application and workflow.
The purpose of Converter Plus is to perform a rapid DAISY conversion, requiring as little human intervention as possible. Moreover, all required interaction takes place in one simple phase, so operators need not return to the computer to complete a conversion. The interface is clean and simple, so is entirely accessible to screen readers. Independent of any particular device or platform, a conversion can be requested from virtually any web-capable device anywhere in the world. Finally, because the original audio files are not modified, the quality of the input tracks is not affected by a conversion.
The following are some links on general information:
DAISY Audio conversion
can be found in the Production queue in RT. These tickets begin with the title MP3 to DAISY
. When you have completed a title, pass back the ticket the same way you would in your eText workflow. See Taking Tickets for more information.
