EPUB3 is the ebook standard recommended for both mainstream and accessible
publishing. Tobi supports the DAISY3 and EPUB3 talking book formats, and
provides tools to upgrade existing content to the new standard. Learn about
EPUB3 features, and about Tobi production workflows.

This is a powerful authoring application that also has an accessible user
interface.
Most of the available EPUB3 applications are not accessible to screen
reader or keyboard users. Tobi also includes support for the DAISY standard.
