DAISY Pipeline is an umbrella term for various things.

• DAISY Pipeline is a desktop application for Windows and macOS.

• It is a web server to which client programs can connect through a RESTful API.

• The DAISY Pipeline web application is an example of such a server-client configuration. Unlike with the desktop application, multiple users can work together in the same application, each through their own web browser, while the actual processing happens on a central server. The web application offers some additional features that are not available in the desktop application, such as "templates".

• There is also a command line interface.

• DAISY Pipeline is a Java library.

• For Windows users, there is also the Save As DAISY addin for MS Word, a DAISY Pipeline user interface specifically for processing Word documents.

• "DAISY Pipeline" could also refer to the legacy tool which we now sometimes call "Pipeline 1". Because a lot of organisations still rely on some legacy converters in their production today, we are currently working on making these legacy converters available through the current DAISY Pipeline user and programming interfaces, in order to make the transition smoother and to retire the legacy user interface.
