The Daisy 2011 Presentation Browser

I’ve just rewritten the first of my suite of Daisy Web Tools, the Presentation Browser.

Presentation Browser Screen Shot

I originally wrote the program for three reasons.

1. You can control the size of the browser window, so that it fits your on-line Internet-based presentation. In the screen-shot above, the browser has been set to 800 x 600 pixels and some of the tolbars have been removed to give a cleaner view of the web page.
2. The program allows you to print clean copies of pages from the Internet.  The classic is wanting to print say a recipe or a set of instructions and instead of one page with what you want, you get the first bit on one page, the second on another and ipmteen pages of garbage. The Daisy Presentation Browser, allows you to select the part of the page you want and then print it.
3. The program also allows you to take copies of web pages and then paste them into other programs, like Word and Paint.  It makes producing manuals and on-line documentation a lot easier.

The software is free and can be downloaded from this page. There is a simple registration process to unlock some features of the program. As I hate spam with a vengeance, I only use e-mail addresses collected in the registration process to return user and registration codes.

The software works on any version of Windows later than 2000 or NT4.

To run the software you need to have Internet Explorer installed on your computer, but it doesn’t have to be your default browser.
