What is Daisy?
DAISY is an acronym for Digital Accessible Information System.

It is a media format which combines Audio and Text to present a Talking Book. But Daisy
books are superior to normal Audio Books because normal Talking Books are read out
linearly where as Daisy Books allows the listener to move through the book and to
specific points within the book quickly and easily. This is called "navigating" a book.

“DAISY was born from the need for accessible audio that could be used by individuals unable to
read print, as easily and efficiently as a sighted person uses a print book.” (The Daisy
Consortium, 2005) Sighted persons can also greatly benefit from Daisy Books.

In short...Daisy is:

• Accessible for individuals unable to read standard print

• Navigable, allowing the reader to move from heading to heading, page to page,
paragraph to paragraph, phrase to phrase and/or potentially word to word.

What is Daisy Fehm Al Quran?

Daisy Fehm Al Quran is the “Talking Book” version of Fahm Al Quran. The audio
lectures of Fahm Al Quran by Dr. Farhat Hashmi have been converted into Daisy
Format to allow listeners to be able to listen to the Tafseer of the Quran and navigate
easily through the Tafseer.

Who can benefit from Daisy Fehm Al Quran?

Daisy Fehm Al Quran is beneficial for both sighted and blind users. Sighted users
usually have to listen to the whole lecture while using CDs and Cassettes. There is no
way to go to a certain part of the lecture or to listen to the Tafsir of some selected Ayats.
However, sighted users can benefit from Daisy Books as it will allow them to navigate
the whole lecture and listen to selected lessons with the Ayats Range.

The blind users, once trained to open the Tab Player and to open the Daisy Books, can
easily use the up and down keys on the keyboard to select the lessons in a Daisy Book
and listen to the Tafsir of their choice.
