I did take a look at Angel about 4 months ago and it had some interesting features. They had a "508" button (or something similar) in the main screen that removed many of the frames and cleaned up the interface - I actually preferred the "cleaned-up" version. I do remember having a bit of an issue with the synchronous chat environment in that is seemed to be using some type of Flash-based interface that did not always work with a screen-reader well. Overall, though, Angel did not seem to present any major barriers to accessing content and moving about the interface with a variety of assistive computer technologies. Angel did release an update during the testing period and I was not able to go back and recheck everything again. However, it did not appear that anything in the system got worse so I suppose that is good!

I've never used it or seen it, but our school uses it on various domains. Am I right in my assumption that any "access" issues are really going to be your basic web-acessibility checks? Another person has chimed in, and suspects the problem might be due to credentials, since the user might be trying to access a sharepoint site outside of their domain, which has its OWN sharepoint site. I don't think that's an accessibility issue, more of a network problem. Anything we should really know or watch out for, regarding sharepoint? Nick Ogrizovich Adaptive Lab Manager University of Vermont (this is the message that was sent) _____________________ Does anyone have experience to help us resolve this particular situation?

References: Message-ID: We have used MAGic ever since Henter Joyce, now Freedom Scientific, bought it from a small company. Back then because of windows 3.1, we chose to go with it due to the fact that it used the same video drivers as JAWS. We run 30 copies over the district and we have found that it has less of a problem then setting up ZoomText. One of the nice things about deploying it across the network, is that you don't have to activate it on the workstations and it takes a very small amount of memory. How we deploy it is with a custom MSI file that loads the first time the computer starts up after a new rebuild the same way we load DNS and Microsoft Office. The nice thing about it, is that since we run JAWS, MAGic also uses the same audio drivers so we can purchase it without sound which, in the long run, is much cheaper then ZOOM-Text. The students have used both, and with the newer version, both the staff and students prefir it. One word of caution, once you make the decision to go with ether one, and you run a site license with this many copies, it's very expensive to change. -----Original Message----- From: athen-bounces@athenpro.org [mailto:athen-bounces@athenpro.org] On Behalf Of James Bailey Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 8:59 AM To: athen@athenpro.org Subject: [Athen] magic screen enlarger?

The installation to the individual computer is fairly simple and once it is installed it connects and gets the authorization from the network. I have not had much feedback from the students as of yet, but those that have used it seem to like it. At least, they have not complained about it. They say that it is very similar to Zoomtext. We are hoping to resolve our compatibility issues that Zoomtext and Jaws have, and it seems to be working. Hope this information helps.

Message-ID: James, Running network ZoomText really isn't that bad at all. I am doing it right now and it is working across sub-domains in the same Forrest. Here is what you need to do: SEE the ZoomText network installation guide for more details if needed. 1. Choose a server to host the ZoomText installation files, licenses, and optionally - the ZoomText profiles (nice feature and lets you have some "roaming user" functionality - See the Network Installation Guide). 2. Create a User Group on server that will be hosting Zoomtext. (ATUsers or ZoomTextUsers if you want finer control of the shares) 3. Add the users you want to enable ZoomText for to this group. It does not matter what domain they are in, but you must specify (DOMAINNAME\UserName) - this is a local group on the server. 4. Create share for ZoomText on the server. (\\SERVERNAME.SubDomain.Domain.edu\ZoomText) 5. Set permissions so that the group you created in step 2 can read and write to the share. 6. Install network ZoomText on the server using the fully-qualified UNC path or IP. This is VERY important! Users on sub-domains other than the one the server is on will NOT be able to "see" your server unless you use either the a. FULLY QUALIFIED UNC path (i.e. \\SERVERNAME.SubDomain.Domain.edu\ZoomText ) OR the b. IP address of the server, BUT make sure your server has a STATIC IP if you choose this method. (i.e.\\192.168.1.145\ZoomText) c. One other note just to clarify: You CANNOT use just the machine name in your UNC path. (i.e. \\SERVERNAME\ZoomText ) This will NOT work across subdomains. 7. Make changes to the Setup.INI file in your ZoomText\ZT9ClientSetup\ZtSetup share path if you want to enable roaming zoomtext profiles. Details on how to do this are in the zoomtext network setup guide. a. Sample setup.ini file with roaming profiles enabled: (anchovy is our AT server and ZTProfiles is the share I created to store the ZoomText profiles - again notice the fully-qualified UNC path) [Startup] AppName=ZoomText 9.0 ProductGUID=24BEE00C-0DE6-443E-8C3C-00A199B1DCDD [Languages] Default=0x0009 count=1 key0=0x0009 [Network] SharedUserDirectory=\\anchovy.library.colostate.edu\ZTProfiles 8. Now for the Final step and the one that caused me a good few headaches before I figured out all this UNC business I keep harping on: Installing ZoomText on the client machines. In order to do this first make sure: a. You are logged into client machine the with admin privileges. b. You have disabled any secondary displays on the client machine. (zoomtext does not support dual-headed displays - you may already know this) c. Just to be safe, make sure zoomtext is not installed or un-install it before intalling the zetwork version. d. Make sure you have created a user for yourself to access the ZoomText share from the client machine. e. Run setup off the ZoomtText share using your fully-qualified domain name UNC or IP UNC. ***This is important*** even if you can access the share using just the machine name, zoomtext installation will fail because it checks to make sure the path you gave for the installation of the server matches the path you are running the client install from. This is what caused me the most headaches and most figuring out. 9. You should be off to the races at this point. Let me know if you have any problems - I may be able to help, but the guys over at AI Squared are pretty darn good at helping out too :-). 10. Bask in the warm glow of your accomplishment! That should be about it. I have yet to run into any problems using this method, but it is still a bit early for me to say it is fool-proof in all instances. Let me know what sort of mileage you get out of this little guide and how much sense you can make of my writing. One other note I want to make: I created a separate share to hold the profiles and this seems to work just fine. It is a pretty slick feature if you ask me. I have also made other Network Enabled Assitive Technology (I like to call them NEAT Solutions :-) ) software products work across domains. I am going to put together a guide or some sort of other write-up together when I get the chance and I know for sure it is all working correctly, but let me know if you have any other questions about this kind of stuff. -Douglas Borg Assistive Technology Resource Center Colorado State University doug.borg@colostate.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ltd. announced Monday (Sept. 11) it has completed the industry's first fully working prototype of a 512-Mbit Phase-change Random Access Memory (PRAM), what the company claims is expected to become the main memory device to replace high-density NOR flash memories within the next decade. Samsung said at a news conference here that its PRAM has been developed by adopting the use of vertical diodes with the three "dimensional transistor structure that it now uses to produce a DRAM. The PRAM has the smallest cell size of any working memory that is free of inter-cell noise, allowing virtually unlimited scalability, the company said. The PRAM features the fast processing speed of RAM for its operating functions combined with the nonvolatile features of flash memory for storage, giving it the nickname of "Perfect RAM", Samsung said. As the PRAM can rewrite data without having to first erase data previously accumulated, it is effectively 30-times faster than conventional flash memory. It is also expected to have at least 10-times the endurance of the conventional flash memory, Samsung added. Samsung claimed the PRAM would become a competitive choice over NOR flash, with availability beginning sometime in 2008. Samsung also said the PRAM's cell size is only half the size of NOR flash memory. In addition, its PRAM requires 20 percent fewer process steps than those for the manufacturing of NOR flash, making it cheaper to produce. Adoption of PRAM is expected to be more popular in the future designs of multi-function handsets and for other mobile applications, where faster speeds translate into immediately noticeable boosts in performance. High-density versions will be produced first, starting with 512 Mbit, according to Samsung. ========================= Daniel Berkowitz - Assistant Director Boston University Office of Disability Services 19 Deerfield Street, 2nd floor Boston, MA 02215 (617) 353-3658 (office) (617) 353-9646 (fax) djbrky@bu.edu (eMail) www.bu.edu/disability From djbrky at bu.edu Tue Sep 12 11:03:09 2006 From: djbrky at bu.edu (Berkowitz, Daniel J) Date: Sat Jun 9 18:28:05 2018 Subject: [Athen] Portable Speech-to-Text (Urgent) Message-ID: OK -- I have an answer to the first part of this missive.

You then have to add or save user files. The voice files can be quite large, so I tell my users to save that file on their shared drive, or use a nice-sized (512 mb +) thumb drive. I think it's a little different now, with DNS version 9 or 10, or whatever it is they are up to now. It most likely would be under File --> import/export on newer versions. Is this what you meant? nick @ u. of vermont --- "Berkowitz, Daniel J" wrote: > OK -- I have an answer to the first part of this missive.

We have been using it on our campus to evaluate websites and had a very positive response in terms of helping them identify accessibility problems. One important issue is to have them test any templates for accessibility before they start adding content. I would also be very interested in any feedback you have about the tool, since we are designing it to be used for the exact task that you are trying to accommplish.

Message-ID: <0B6DCE7FD0CAC8499F3F32584186A32504C37CEE@ppcca1.ppcc.ccofc.edu> DNS is avail in different languages & I've had success with training individuals with significant speech impediments to use it - even if they cannot pronounce a word correctly, DNS has a few features in which their misspoken version can be trained to be spelled correctly. Also, there is some research, I'll try to find it, that has shown that multi-sensory input, like the kind derived from the seeing and hearing provided by text-to-speech technologies, actually improves individuals' reading level/fluency - one of the reasons is that it increases their sight-word base. At PPCC, our anecdotal observations have been that students, on average, improve their reading skills by at least one grade level.

The students created a web from which to speak in Inspiration, using the pictures if necessary.

She may have been part of the work that I remember Cherry Creek High School (Aurora, CO) being involved... They may also have been working with Adaptive Technologies, an AT provider in the Denver area. (Charles or Randy, does this ring a bell?) The ATRC at Colorado State has also had success with students with major speech impediments although it takes a lot of work and patience on the part of the user.

Twenty-eight LD students with reading and spelling difficulties (aged 8 to 18) received each program for 17 weeks and were compared with 16 students in a contrast group who did not receive either program. After adjusting for age and IQ, both the SRBP and AP groups showed significant differences over the contrast group in improving word recognition and reading comprehension. Neither program showed significant differences over contrasts in spelling. The SRBP also improved the performance of the target group when compared with the contrast group on phonological elision and nonword reading efficiency tasks. The AP showed significant differences in all process and reading efficiency measures." -*- Dan Comden danc@u.washington.edu Access Technology Lab http://www.washington.edu/computing/atl/ University of Washington On Thu, 14 Sep 2006, Dawn Hunziker wrote: > Hi all, > > Anyone have any information for this request? > > Thanks! > > Dawn > >> Begin forwarded message: >> >>> From: Anne Gilmore <gila@ljbc.wa.edu.au> >>> Date: September 13, 2006 11:28:52 PM MST >>> To: oscr@email.arizona.edu >>> Subject: Dragon Naturally Speaking from Anne Gilmore >>> >>> >>> I am interested in knowing if you guys know of any research that suggests >>> that the above software (Dragon NaturallySpeaking) is beneficial for >>> children who are experiencing learning difficulties in literacy.

The area of interest for this particular assignment is to study either student satisfaction with DAISY Talking Books or compare reading comprehension for students using two different flavors of DAISY. Quite literally having two groups of students, both taking the same class with the same instructor but have one use "audio only" DAISY (such as that produced by RFB&D) and the second using either "text only" DAISY (such as that produced by Bookshare or "text+audio" DAISY (such as that produced in-house). Then compare the two groups on some sort of survey (to be determined). I am looking for articles and research in the following areas: 1) DAISY in general 2) Reading comprehension and electronic/digital texts 3) Use of digital textbooks in areas such as distance education I am keeping this request to the ATHEN listserv because we are all members of the same professional organization. I do not care at this point to share this research on the regular listservs. Some of you I will likely contact directly with more specific questions. Thanks in advance all -- anyone coming through and also attending the AHG conference will be well 'compensated'.

Do any of you have a form or use a program which works pretty well in keeping track of student/book, what form it is going from & into, when it comes in/when it is finished? I know that this is horrendous grammar, so forgive me the run on sentence! We got totally slammed this semester and the tracking just has gone south [so if you find it, send back north to us, would you please?]. If any of you have a tracking method you're willing to share, we would be MOST grateful!

We include a job tracking feature, as well as the ability to assign tasks, set different levels of permission, send e-mail to students and faculty, request e-text from other participating institutions, and allow students to check job progress. Best of all, it's free! :-) If you are interested, please contact Sean Keegan: skeegan@htctu.net We will be at Accessing Higher Ground if you would like a demo. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Gaeir (rhymes with "fire") Dietrich Alternate Media Training Specialist / Instructor High Tech Center Training Unit De Anza College, Cupertino, CA 408.996.6043 www.htctu.net -----Original Message----- From: athen-bounces@athenpro.org [mailto:athen-bounces@athenpro.org] On Behalf Of Wink Harner Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 12:22 AM To: Access Technologists in Higher Education Network; Access Technologists in Higher Education Network Subject: [Athen] Job tracking Hi Athen-Landers, We are trying to brainstorm an electronic (or not) job tracking ticket/program to keep track of alternative text requests --from initial request to hand-off. Do any of you have a form or use a program which works pretty well in keeping track of student/book, what form it is going from & into, when it comes in/when it is finished? I know that this is horrendous grammar, so forgive me the run on sentence! We got totally slammed this semester and the tracking just has gone south [so if you find it, send back north to us, would you please?]. If any of you have a tracking method you're willing to share, we would be MOST grateful!
