Abstract
DAISY or accessible EPUB3 could be a good solution to make e-textbooks more accessible. However, unfortunately, a good method to include Braille in them is not established, yet. Due to complicated Situations in Braille notations, automatically converting print contents, especially, ones for math/science into Braille has its own problem. Furthermore, Braille translation in Japanese is usually context-dependent. After reviewing those situations and how Braille is currently treated in DAISY, what are required for Braille capability in DAISY/ accessible EPUB3 are discussed. Based on our DAISY/EPUB3 authoring tools, "ChattyInfty3," and Braille editor, "BrailleInfty," a practical solution to realize the Braille capability is given. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
