Communicating with colleagues, in meetings, with professors or advisement staff, it's a great communication tool. It is not designed to sub for CART or interpreting in the classes. We used it in a previous iteration on campus at my former college as we had no interpreting staff and it was an extremely useful tool for deaf students and visitors on campus to be able to negotiate their way through admissions, advisement, cashiers & financial aid, check out to meet with their profs or a colleague on campus etc. As a DRS manager/accommodations specialist, we used dual monitors & keyboards in my office to have typewritten conversations (achieves the same goal as the UBI DUO). What is your director looking to solve?

Webinar - *Strategies & Case Studies for Improving Digital Access on the College & University Campus* August 25, 2011Speakers: Jon Gunderson, University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign (UIUC) Susan Cullen, California State University-Northridge (CSUN) Teresa Haven, Arizona State University (ASU) *Overview of Topic Areas* (Agenda Below) ? Implementing a Campus-Wide Accessibility or 508 Policy for Digital & Web Access ? Building collaboration on campus: assembling a campus-wide accessibility committee; selling accessibility to resistant faculty; obtaining the buy-in of IT. ? Best practices for Digital Access ? including such areas as multimedia, Course Management Systems, Distance Education ? Building the partnerships and collaborations on campus needed for effective system change towards Universal Design. A Google or Yahoo search on "campus accessibility policy" reveals that the number of campuses implementing (or at least posting) a system-wide access policy for web pages and digital media seems to be rapidly growing. Is this an effective way to improve accessibility at a university or college? Are there other strategies for increasing the accessibility of a campus' electronic resources? This Webinar will attempt to answer these questions. Agenda Segment 1: Practices at the Exemplary Universities 10:00 ? 11:10 (55 minute talk, 15 minute Q&A) 1. Jon Gunderson will talk about overall best practices; what are the universities rated with the most accessible websites doing to encourage and implement accessibility? What is done at the UIUC to promote and ensure accessibility? 2. Susan Cullen from CSUN talks about the model used at her university to ensure Digital Accessibility. 20 minute break Segment 2: Building Partnerships and Collaborations on Campus Presenter: Teresa Haven, Arizona State University (ASU) 11:30 ? 12:10 (30 minute talk & 10 minutes Q & A) Following recent statements by DOE and DOJ regarding technology accessibility compliance, how can you work with your institution to enact necessary changes? This presentation will provide DS professionals with an overview of recent legal updates, ideas for building alliances, and strategies for engaging key stakeholders in dialogue and helping them learn new perspectives on the need for JUST design. Segment 3: WebAIM's Grant-funded Project to Assist Institutions in System-wide Web Accessibility Efforts, Jon Whiting, WebAIM Presenter: Jon Whiting, WebAIM 12:30 ? 1:20 (40 minute talk & 10 minute Q&A) WebAIM will talk about their ongoing grant-funded project to assist institutions in system-wide web accessibility efforts, addressing such issues as: 1. Gaining top-level support for institutional web accessibility; 2. Creating a campus-wide accessibility committee; 3. Benchmarking institutional web accessibility with an eye toward continuous improvement; 4. Gaining buy-in from faculty and staff; 5. Understanding how web accessibility may tie into regional accreditation.

We will have a variety of general topic sessions, with afternoon breakout sessions on policy and technical topics: * The business case for accessibility * How to evaluate and implement accessibility * Mobile accessibility * Easy accessibility fixes * Opportunities to network with developers, vendors, web accessibility consultants and experts in non-visual access technology * Exhibitors will present their products during session breaks, and participants will have an opportunity to learn more about their services For more information or to register, please visit www.nfb.org/webaccessibility or contact Clara Van Gerven at the NFB ( cvangerven@nfb.org , 410-659-9314, ext. 2410).

Dear Colleague: On behalf of the Access Board, I am pleased to invite you to participate in a virtual listening session that we are hosting on ways to improve access to information technology in the federal sector. This listening session will take place on September 8, 2011, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). The Access Board is hosting this event in collaboration with the Chief Information Officers Council, the Chief Acquisition Officers Council, and the General Services Administration's Office of Governmentwide Policy. This forum will provide an opportunity for members of the public to suggest steps the federal government can take to improve its acquisition and implementation of accessible technology under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Information is also sought on emerging technologies that may pose barriers to access. People with disabilities, advocates, technology companies, government employees and other interested parties are invited to participate. The listening session will be accessible. Computer assisted real-time transcription (CART) will be provided. Persons wishing to participate in the virtual listening session can either call in and speak their comments over the telephone or go online and type them on the afternoon of the listening session. Log-on and dial-in instructions are posted on the Board 's website. I hope that you will be able to join us on September 8th. Additional details about this meeting are provided in a notice published in the Federal Register. Best regards, Kathy Kathy Roy Johnson Legislative Analyst U.S. Access Board 1331 F Street, N.W.

You can also adjust text size (12-70 point), text and background colors, and dual highlighting colors. The included voices -- Heather and Ryan -- sound wonderful compared to the iPad's VoiceOver. Reading speed adjusts from 60% of normal to 260%. One can navigate by heading, page #, and bookmark, plus search for text. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/read2go/id425585903?mt=8 - Shelley _____________________________ Shelley Haven ATP, RET Assistive Technology Consultant www.TechPotential.net On Aug 24, 2011, at 6:20 AM, Kenneth Elkind wrote: > > Do you know of a reader for an iPad that high lite txt?

The two apps that I can think of for the iOS platform include Speak It! and Read2Go from Benetech. Speak It! - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speak-it!-text-to-speech/id308629295?mt=8 Read2Go - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/read2go/id425585903?mt=8 With Speak It!, you can get additional voices at a very reasonable cost. However, Read2Go offers a lot more functionality in terms of controlling TTS as well as font characteristics.
