God Morgon
Svenska
Daisykonsortiet!
Sweden Has Proud History
as Founder of DAISY Consortium
• Consortium original agreement drafted here in
Stockholm in 1996: I am proud to have been there
• Sweden, UK, Spain, Japan, Switzerland, Netherlands
• First President Ingar Beckman Hirschfeldt
• Great Visionaries: Lars Sönnebo, Kjell Hansson
• Now Markus Gylling is Chief Technology Officer
• Consistent strong supporter of global approach,
cooperation and rights of people with disabilities
What I will cover
• Book & curriculum famine
• The WBU Right to Read advocacy campaign
• The WIPO Copyright Treaty: How it helps
• Progress made to end the book famine
• The DAISY Consortium strategy to end the book
famine
• Next steps
• How you can help
Since Caxton people with print disability
denied access
Print disabled learners denied access to
curriculum
Libraries for the Blind have helped
Reading with eyes, ears & fingers
But libraries can’t keep up
• Explosion of publishing
• Making Braille, talking books, large print is
expensive
• Only 5% of books available in accessible formats in
best performing countries
• Developing countries lack basic infrastructure
The Right to Read 2000-2013
• "Less than 5% of books
are available in any
accessible format"
• "It’s a book famine"
• "We want the right to
read the same book at
the same time, price and
place as everyone else"
WBU Right to Read Campaign
Barriers to more accessible
books
• Money

• Copyright

• Reading & publishing technology
WBU Right to Read Strategy
End the book famine by
• National campaigns for more money for
reading
• Global campaign via WIPO on Copyright
• Develop reading & publishing Technology
• Promote new model of inclusive
publishing
Partnership to end the book
famine
• Money
• Local & Regional members

• Copyright
• IFLA, Daisy Consortium, Civil society

• Inclusive publishing
• DAISY Consortium, Publishing industry

The voice of blind and
partially sighted people
in Europe
WBU advocacy for more money
Some successes, some problems
• Global
• UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities;
accessibility, education, livelihood

• Regional
• EU research but legislation like Accessibility Act stuck

• National
• Canada: Government funding for library services
• Scandinavia: Continued priority for accessibility
• India: Increased Govt attention & legislation
Money: UK School Children ask Parliament
“Where’s my book?”
Stephen King's Presentation Solving the Book Famine: WIPO Treaty
WBU Copyright Campaign
• “If a book is available somewhere in a
format I can read I can get hold of it
easily and quickly”
• Break Copyright barriers
• Recognising its not the only barrier

• Sharing expensive accessible formats
• Global Library of accessible formats
Copyright Treaty June 2013
Success in Morocco
Copyright Treaty - June 2013
Next steps
• Treaty signed by 61 countries (At 27 Nov 13)
• China, Chile, USA, UK, Korea, Switzerland, Denmark,
(Not Sweden yet, but EU announced it will)

• National laws need updating to compliance
• Ratification is next:
What does WIPO Treaty Mean?
(after ratification which may take 5 + years)

• It does not solve the book famine on its own
• It Enables “Enhanced Accessibility books” produced
using a copyright exception in one country to be
supplied to a user or “Authorised Entity” in another
country where there is a copyright exception law.
• Business to Business or Business to Consumer

• Enables global market place for accessible formats
• Still need business arrangements & Infrastructure
How Does Treaty Help
Sweden?
• “What I want to read”, not what’s available here
• Enables access to global culture and learning in accessible
formats
• Supports minorities who want to read in their own language
• Supports people learning languages and studying
• Supports global (economic) development
• Well-stocked libraries, more cost effective
• People with print disabilities better equipped for globalised
world

• BUT: The Marrakesh treaty is just the start.much
more to do
Does WIPO Treaty End the book
famine?
No! Still need to deliver other projects
• Money & resources
• Need to ensure benefits people in developing countries
• Maintain funding for access enhancing industry

• Treaty Implementation in 200 countries
• Need copyright law with exception in each country
• 5 year + programme: but good momentum

• Develop reading & publishing Technology
• Reading with eyes ears & fingers is easy & affordable
• Publishing captures accessibility mark-up & features

• Promote new model of inclusive publishing
Reading & Publishing
Technology
Great Progress!
• The E-book revolution
• The growth of mobile devices
• The speech synthesiser revolution
• Low cost braille display project
The e-book revolution
People with print disabilities are increasingly able to
enjoy the same book at the same price and place as
everyone else"
"But there is much more to do to end the book
famine."
Stephen King, Helsinki June 2012
“eBooks offer choices for Print
Disabled People”
Swedish DAISY Consortium Annual Conference

Digital accessibility
Inclusion strategy
Corporate responsibility
rorme@outlook.com
Many people can benefit now!
• You heard from Richard Orme about transformation
in access to reading in English
• For people with low vision reading is transformed
• For ears & touch readers "If you've experienced a
famine, you will relish moldy bread"
• A better reading experience needed
UK Research published July 13
e-Books transform access
• 7% of all books available in UK accessible by eyes,
ears & fingers (Up from 5% in 2004)
• 84% of top 1000 books sold in 2012 are e-books,
readable by eyes, ears & fingers. (Up from 54%
2010 & 74% in 2011)
• Of top 1000 99% adult fiction, 77% Non fiction &
43% Children's readable by eyes, ears & fingers
Latest Kindle Fire

accessibility features
Great Progress - But no one delivers
great navigation: Yet!
• Novel reading is OK
• Navigating around a problem
• Non-fiction, news and education a problem
• People need skills and confidence
• Fantastic progress in English & few languages
• Lack of speech synthesis for many languages
Still much to do… Many publishing and
