About this extension
Daisynon transforms accessible digital book files (DAISY Text / DTBook XML format) into readable pages directly in Firefox — no server, no internet connection, no complex setup.
Who is it for?
For visually impaired or blind users who receive their books in DAISY Text format (.xml) through services like BrailleNet, national libraries, or any provider distributing accessible e-books. Daisynon lets them read these files with their usual screen reader, directly from their computer.
