The DAISY Consortium was formed in May 1996 by talking book libraries to lead the worldwide transition from analog to Digital Talking Books.

The first DAISY Format Standard was proprietary, originating in Sweden in 1994. The DAISY Specification has evolved considerably. It offers a flexible and navigable reading experience for people who are blind or print disabled in a number of countries worldwide including [among others] Sweden, Finland, France, Japan, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United States.

Technology and experience in the development of the DAISY Format was then used to aid the evolution of the EPUB format, embedding accessibility features at the very foundation of this mainstream ebook format.

• Full and Associate Members are nonprofit organizations, typically national talking book libraries or national consortia of such libraries.
• Friends include educational establishments and for-profit organizations like technology companies, and developers of production and/or playback hardware or software.
• Inclusive Publishing Partners are organizations in the publishing sector working to embed accessibility in their mainstream practices.
• Individuals are amazing people who generously support the work that we do.
