[French: Note de rédacteur]

The Producer's Note can be a Heading 1 section or an in-text producer's note.

The Producer's Note is a Heading 1 placed after the section About this Digital Talking Book.

A Producer's Note contains information added to the book by the producing organization. It's commonly used to describe differences between the print book and the digital talking book version. Traditionally, this has been called a transcriber's note, reader's note, or editor's note.

For most frequent use, see the page about indexes.

Sometimes we will need to insert a producer's note within the body of the text; for example, to describe or interpret visual elements in the text where the alt text might not be sufficient. In this case, we mark up the text using the Prodnote - Optional (DAISY) style.

We will also surround our producer's note with the text: BEGIN PRODUCER'S NOTE and END PRODUCER'S NOTE. This is so that readers of the e-text version will know that this is not part of the normal narrative.

This is an example of an in-text producer's note used to describe a diagram of a family tree (the diagram is depicted smaller than it would be in the actual text).

Q: In a book where the original front-matter includes a description of the typefaces used (i.e., "The text in this book uses OpenDyslexic and Minion Pro typefaces."), should this be removed? Or addressed in a "Producer's Note?"

A: Yes, we can address this in a Producer's Note [Heading 1]. We could state something to the effect that "the text is this Digital Talking Book does not use OpenDyslexic and Minion Pro typefaces. These typefaces are used in the original book."
