To make the process of downloading and playing the audio books fast and easy to
use I.R.T.I. has created a file “unpack” tool called eClipseWater.
“eClipseWater” (available for download at www.irti.net/home/AMPS)
allows the reader to download DTB-DNA files and expand them to fully functioning
audio talking books automatically, with the press of a few buttons. The
audio books can be played on the computer’s hard drive using Windows Media
Player or other audio book playback tools (including DAISY players).
The audio books also be recorded to CD or flash memory and made
completely portable – thus freeing the reader from the need to use a computer
to read a book.

How to get started:
- You will need a DAISY book reader. You can easily read DAISY on your computer, but you need a software program to do so.
- AMIS is free of charge, open source DAISY book playback software. DAISY books are used by our Handiham members who are blind or have a reading disability.
- The current version is AMIS 3.0, released May 5, 2009. You can view the release notes, learn the latest news, or download AMIS: http://daisy.org/projects/amis/
- Members can log in to the Members Only section, go to the Handiham Daisy Book Collection, and in the DAISY subfolder, find the folder of interest to them.
- For example, go to the folder arrl_emcomm_notes and you will see a number of files. You will need to copy all of these files into a folder on your own hard drive. It is best to use an FTP program.
- Then use AMIS to open the book. The file you want AMIS to open is ncc.html. All the files from the folder must be in the same folder for AMIS to read the book.
