Navigation in the Daisy book
User friendliness has top priority with Milestone 311. With only four buttons you may
navigate in a Daisy book easily!
7.5.1.
The structural levels of a Daisy book
To navigate with Milestone efficiently you need to understand how the structure of a Daisy
book is set up. A Daisy book has different levels analogous to the chapter structure and
substructure in a printed book. With Milestone you can select the individual levels with the
top “Rec“ button and the bottom “Mode“ button, and navigate in the level with the right and
left arrow buttons. It is easy to imagine these 4 buttons as a navigation cross.
For example:
On the SD memory card the book “Grandmothers Kitchen“ is available. “Grandmothers
Kitchen” is a cookery book. It is subdivided into warm and cold dishes. The cold dishes are
subdivided into appetisers, main courses and desserts. We choose to listen through the
desserts.
We are in the application Daisy books and press the “Play” button. Milestone starts reading
the book “Grandmothers Kitchen“. Without further assistance Milestone reads the book non-
stop until the end is reached.
By pressing the bottom “Mode“ button once we reach the second level. Milestone will
announce “second level“. On this level we have the divisions warm and cold dishes, that we
may select with the left and the right arrow button.
By pressing the right arrow button once we get to the chapter “cold dishes“.
To get to the desserts from the cold dishes we change to another more precise level again.
By pressing the bottom “Mode“ button once we reach the third level. Milestone will
announce “third level“. On this level we have the subdivisions main courses, appetisers and
desserts, that we may select with the right and the left arrow button.
By pressing the right arrow button twice we reach the chapter desserts.
Now we press the “Play“ button and Milestone starts to read the chapter “desserts”.
In short we navigate in the navigation cross as follows:
The top and bottom button allow us to change the navigation level, the left and the right
button allow us to move in the chosen level. The middle button starts the reading from the
spot where we are.
We find the following levels in a Daisy book:

Level “books“
On this level you get to the next/previous book by pressing the right and the left arrow
button, provided that several books are available on the SD memory card, else this level is
not announced.
