Reading other text formats (PDF) #7

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Just an idea I have, it might be far from the prospect of the Olearia project, 
but would it be 
possible to make Olearia also a kind of PDF player, working just like a Daisy 
book?

When I navigate in Preview, I often find myself wishing that I could read just 
like I do with a DTB. 
Well, I can read page by page or all pages, but if I pause the reading by using 
control, continue 
reading with control key might not work, and going a little back would include 
a lot of 
navigation. I could convert the text to audio, but this would also involve some 
work. Is this 
possible, or what do you think? I know you are working on text features for 
Olearia, but I asume 
this is on the Daisy format.

Take care,
John André

Could this possibly best be done in another smaller program which converted 
PDFs to
Text-only DAISY books? I'm not sure, myself, but it's a thought...
