12.1 Components of the DAISY Player
While playing DAISY content, four controls/components are available:
1) "heading"
2) "Information"
3) "Play"
4) "Pause"
You can move among the controls using “Tab” and "shift-tab". While playing
a DAISY book, `heading", shows you a prefixed heading or navigation
element as well as the text under that element if text exists. In "information",
you can find the current page, level, phrase, elapsed time, and running time.
You can move among these items with “up arrow button” or “down arrow
button”. You can press "Enter" on "Pause" or "Play", to pause or play the
audio. From anywhere in the four control components, you can toggle
play/pause by pressing "Space".
