AMIS: adaptive multimedia information system

 

 

Overview

 

 

AMIS stands for Adaptive Multimedia Information System.

 

AMIS is a software program that you can use to read DAISY books. It is self-voicing, meaning that no specialized screen-reading software is needed in order

for it to be used by visually impaired people. AMIS is open source software and is provided free of charge.

 

AMIS supports DAISY 2.02 books, and also has experimental DAISY/NISO support. Books are played back with synchronized phrase-level highlighting.
