Steve, Kevin and others interested in this thread.  A somewhat related topic 
has emerged on
the Plextalk list regarding Dolphin products and how, sometimes, there appear 
to be clashes
between Producer, , Easy Reader, and the Plextor DAISY software.  I believe 
Brian Hartgen
and others have experienced hang ups with the Plextor software when trying to 
start it with
the Dolphin software installed.  No doubt Dolphin will address this issue 
before long if, as
it seems, the problem might lye with their programs.  (I hope Brian Hartgen 
might find the
time to comment on what I've said.)

I mention the Plextor here too as a final reminder that this stand alone 
recorder and its
software allow for production of DAISY formatted CDs.  I think the Plextor 
software also
supports plain MP3 compilations, but seemingly you cannot mix these with DAISY 
content on
the same cD.

I have some feeling for where Steve's coming from re. the expense of the 
Producer software,
but it does work seamlessly with Word and in doing so provides self-voicing 
output too.  I
was quite impressed with what I saw and heard at Sight Village this year of 
Producer in
action and I feel Dolphin could be onto a good thing as concatenated voices get 
better and
demand rises for quick turn round of material in DAISY format.

I'll just end by commenting that you have to know MS Word a little better than 
many do to
use Producer as it depends on properly defined headings in the text to generate 
the DAISY
files.

Hi Steve,

I will say it is expensive but it works very well it works better than the
eclipse writer and other daisy making software I have played about with.

You should take into account that it is not a white goods product like a
fridge and Dolphin have put allot of development into this product.

I use Hal we and Jfw and I can only say that Dolphin's support is second to
none!!!

so to take your complaint that it is expensive yes You are correct but like
i say you get what You pay for.
