WIPS – Wave Input Production System

Wave Input Production System (WIPS) was designed to create an efficient and simple way to convert large quantities of digital wave files into structured, navigable DAISY productions. WIPS now forms an integrated part of N2DAISY, which is a conversion tool from Telex.

New customers should contact Telex to explore conversion options, and existing customers should have the information they need from Dolphin already.

DAISY Regenerator (DAISY specification upgrade tool)

The tool takes a DAISY 2.0 or 2.02 DTB as input, and performs a series of operations on it in order to output a valid DAISY 2.02 DTB.
