[Athen] Contributions & ideas please!

[E.A. Draffan]

Thanks Wink and not half as much as I am missing not being with you all!  I am slaving away with a load of student recordings for an accessible resources project – hopefully catch up with some of you at CSUN when I shall be talking about it if we get the acceptance on the papers!

 

I have just sent my apologies for not attending the Athen meeting via Dan B. on Facebook.  Many thanks and have fun - it looks like you only have dreary weather like us and no exciting snow falls this year! 

 

Best wishes E.A.

We have a suite of tools available on an USB pendrive with an accessible
menu - all freely available.
http://access.ecs.soton.ac.uk/projects/accessTools/download   Try the Beta2
version as it has the most and includes NVDA etc.

Wink,

Free Natural Reader is a text reader available in both Windows and Macintosh
versions.  Paid versions are available with additional features, but the
free version works well as a simple text reader.  A user can work with it in
two ways - (1) as a stand-alone text reader by opening files within Natural
Reader, or (2) as a tool bar to add reading functions to MS Word, MS Excel,
and web browsers.

Also, a free web version of Inspiration is available in beta at
www.mywebspiration.com


Also, check out WebbIE - this is free, text-only web browser.  This offers a
simple view of a web page without graphics, and allows a user to skip over
links if desired.
