And what exactly was so delightful about the Office 365 spellchecker?

Now we should summon a golem from the nasty mud of Boston Harbor, to offload your itchy molars and my aching skin

The good news about the DAISY stuff is their material is available free for the clicking right now -- the drawback is it's the captions-as-a-transcript, which preserves the informal presentation style of the videos.

Their MS Word to ePub software (Windows only) is
https://daisy.org/activities/software/wordtoepub
the corresponding presentation is
https://daisy.org/news-events/articles/epub-publications-from-word-w/
the third-to-last link is the transcript
https://dl.daisy.org/projects/webinars/4-2020/Transcript_Create_EPUB_from_Word.docx

There's also a PowerPoint (insert standard rant here) that I actually downloaded -- a key item was conveyed only visually!

Since I'm amazed, and you might be curious, here's their confounding use of emoji to indicate four word processor's ability to generate ePubs.

Google Doc and Apple Pages both get slightly smiling face 🙂

Libre Office Writer gets neutral face 😐

MS Word gets a "face with tears of joy," 😂 and I don't know what they meant that to convey!

(I didn't find an explanation in the transcript, either.)

Which just goes to prove that it's really hard to make an accessible presentation, even when it's nominally your job.)
