Full text magazines (DAISY text, EPUB and Word)

CELA provides access to over 150 popular magazines within a day of publication. The magazines are offered in DAISY text, EPUB and Word formats. They include the full text of magazine articles as well as images for those who can use them but no recorded audio. You may add them to your Direct to Player bookshelf or download them from the website in DAISY text, EPUB and Word formats.

The magazines can be read with a DAISY player using Direct to Player service, a braille display, or apps such as Dolphin EasyReader or Voice Dream Reader for iOS/Android. Your DAISY reader app or hardware device will read the text aloud to you, if you wish. Depending on the app or device you use, you can also adapt the text in other ways to meet your needs. For magazine tutorials, see How to read DAISY magazines.
