Randy,

Yes, this is a real deal. Premier offers several assistive tech packages, some of them I like and some of them I think are a bit lacking. One that several of my students like is the Ultimate Talking Dictionary. We have used the Text-2-Audio program here to assist with some of the alt text production. I have mixed feelings about PDF Magic as sometimes the results are fine and other times they are not fine at all.

I recommend downloading the demos of the products and testing them for yourself before going for the grant. My one causion is not to depend on this company's products to be a complete assistive technology solution. For the price, they are good.

We received some information from Premier Assistive Technology, Inc.
regarding appying for a "Breaking Down Barriers to Assistive Technology
" grant. The description is available at
http://www.premier-programming.com/grant/grantform.htm

This grant is for an Unlimited Site License to install software on
computers at one's institution. Apparently it is a complete assistive
technology package.


Has anyone heard of this before? If so, has anyone tried it??

Thanks,
