RTFC detects your daisy player and offers it as a target device for audio book transfer. After creating a daisy book, the files are copied directly to a suitable folder on the player. You don't have to worry about the files that go with a daisy book yourself. An optional sound cue during the transmission of an audio book tells you acoustically that the copying process is taking place.

Select the folder or a file from a daisy book in File Explorer and select the menu item "Transfer Talking Book" from the context menu to load this audio book into your player. The only requirement is that you have agreed to the use of the connected player as the target device for the transmission of audio books or have selected it manually. Of course, daisy books that were not created with RTFC can also be transferred.

We have added two more menu items to the context menu in File Explorer, which allow direct conversion to Braille and digital audio books. In addition to the integration into Microsoft Word and the conversion with the Hypertext Wizard, a third approach is available for the use of RTFC. If you hold down the Shift key when calling up the menu items, a dialog will appear to change the default settings. This allows you to configure the menu items and determine which format you prefer for each. For Braille, you can choose between several grades of contraction as well as computer Braille. With Daisy, you can choose between different types of audio books or simple audio files.

We have banished more rarely needed options to the so-called expert mode. This made the dialogs clearer and the paths for keyboard operation shorter. At the same time, we've created a convenient way to make rarely used options accessible in Standard Mode. In the dialog steps of the wizard and in the default settings dialog from the Braille or Daisy menu in Microsoft Word, the "Manage Additional Settings" link is now displayed, which you can use to temporarily switch to Expert mode.

RTFC offers context menus for some dialog elements, which significantly increase ease of use and open up additional functions. Use the right mouse button, the context menu key on your keyboard, or the keyboard shortcut <Shift+F10> to open a context menu.

If you convert multiple source documents to Daisy in one go, RTFC automatically creates the file discinfo.html for Daisy Player with CD Drive. The file is created in the parent directory of the Daisy books. It serves the purpose of recognizing several Daisy books in their own folders by the Daisy player and offering them for playback.

If you convert several audio files into an audio book in one go, RTFC automatically creates a playlist with the extension m3u for this audio book. Such audio books are also recognized as a unit by ordinary mP3 players and allow rudimentary navigation within an audio book.

The context menu for the "Add Clipboard" button in the Wizard allows you to specify whether you want to process the contents of the clipboard as formatted text ("Rich Text Format") or plain text. The conversion of plain text can be influenced using the text import options to filter out certain parts of the text and obtain a formatted document for optimal further processing. This can be useful if you want to copy text from PDF files or web pages to the clipboard and prepare them with RTFC.

If you convert multiple source files in one operation, RTFC will execute multiple conversion processes at the same time. If your computer has a processor with multiple cores, this can significantly speed up the conversion. For example, if you use RTFC as an MP3 encoder, the conversion can be up to 10x faster than before.

RTFC can now also be used with the following products:
