Hi Lori, I do use olympus recorders, I owned a dm4 and now a dm720, and they are the best recorders you can get because of one key, and admittedly half assed feature, voice guidance. When you turn the recorder for the first time, you should be able to mash the okay button for a bit and get voice guidance turned on by default. This will allow you to use the menus and hear what you're doing. However, it seems that not everything is read, as voice guidance seems to only use prerecorded speech to read prompts, not any kind of dynamically produced info like system or memory info. You can find PDF manuals of all olympus products online, and if you page passed the first part that explains what button does what, you should be able to leave the bulk of the graphics behind.

The olympus recorders have an odd folder system which I don't quite understand... but if you're pressing ok, the button in the center of your navigation buttons, that should be where you want to go. I wish they'd improve the voice guidance some, but until they do, I have yet to find another recorder that has the same match of high recording quality and accessibility, limitted as it is, as my olympus ls14.

If the DAISY books you are trying to import are in text format, requiring a text to speech reader, they won't work in your Olympus because it is designed to play audio files of what you've recorded with it.

If the DAISY book is an audio recording, then it needs to be in an audio format that your Olympus supports.

I don't own an Olympus so the best advise I can offer is to just use the MP3s and skip the HTML.
