	Digital Talking Book Features List Draft - National Information Standards Organization (NISO) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The digital talking book should have incorporated into its design a "Navigation Table," which allows the user to easily obtain an overview of the material in the book while, at the same time, providing a convenient means for navigating through the book.
		Talking Book producers should not reorganize or restructure the book but instead use the Navigation Table as a means of enhancing the structure already defined by the author.
		The index of the digital talking book can be conceived of as a simple text page with each page reference in the index acting as a hypertext link to the top of a print page in the book.

	Technology Overview
		At a very early point in the development of the DAISY standard, talking book readers from many countries were consulted regarding their reading requirements and their vision of a fully accessible audio book.
		Access to points within the books, awkwardness of the medium itself, sound quality plus numerous other issues indicated that producers of talking books had to begin the move to a digital platform.
		However, a digitally produced human voice talking book in itself would not resolve all of the issues, particularly the issues of accessibility and navigation from point to point within the book.

	The Talking Book
		A large proportion of human books are long ago dead, and even shrivelled like Egyptian mummies; the mere course of years has rendered them worthless, their teaching is disproved, and they have no life for us.
		It talks of feasts of fat things, of fat things full of marrow; and the book, as it talks, reasons with men's hunger, and bids them eat and be satisfied.
		It talks to you as you are, not only as you should be, or as others have been, but with you, with you personally, about your present condition.

	STEVIE WONDER / TALKING BOOK
		Those six remarkable albums--the latter a double disc of tremendous proportions, filled with funk anthems and sweet ballads that is in many ways a culmination--really are of a single piece, a grandly radical, artistic, political statement of pain and anger and joy uttered during a difficult time for the world and for American fls especially.
		The climax of Talking Book comes appropriately at the end of the album, with "I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever," perhaps my favorite Stevie song.
		Talking Book, I think, is the best of those five essential Stevie albums, and, without resorting to hyperbole, all of them are worth owning and listening to weekly, at least.
