Even though it is Microsoft who broke it. It's a good idea to write to DSI tech support, but it's also a good idea to Twitter about it so that a wider community knows about the problem. Maybe MS might actually give DSI some help in fixing it? But I doubt it. ViewPlus asked MS to fix an Office 2010 bug that caused a TSS problem, and they weren't willing to do so. FYI ViewPlus has created a good workaround that will be available within a few days. And DSI can do it too, so please encourage them, especially by saying nice things about their commitment to accessibility!

We are purchasing one and will be creating tactile graphics in both Biology and Physics for a blind student. While we are planning to call upon the expertise of people in those academic departments, it would be really helpful to get further advice from people currently creating tactile graphics from a design and IT perspective.

This is what I need: 1. I cannot take time away from my business to do the degree so no residence or full time "have to be here" and give up working requirements. 2. I need it to be online and flexible in that some semesters I might be able to take a full course load while in others I would need to do a part-time course load. 3. The final "thesis" needs to be practical and something related to my work and business.not a statistics based research paper but something more innovative or even something like writing another book. Everything I've looked at has either a "traditional" research paper and/or requirements to give up working and be on-site for a year. As someone who owns their own business and can't take a year off this is not realistic. For some reasons doctoral studies haven't evolved much to meet the needs of students.or so it seems. Again I am looking for a more practical doctorate that makes use of my work and is flexible to my needs. I know here in Ontario there are a lot of us who are looking for practical doctorates but so far all we've done is express our needs and desires but am not sure any of us have taken it to the next step to try and either find one or make one. Even if I could find something that would let me learn a new technology and then apply it as a final "project" or demonstration of skill level, this would be great. Any ideas?

If use of the ALD doesn't provide her with sufficient communication access in the classroom, then educational transcription (TypeWell/CPrint/CART) might be better alternative. Especially considering she is a graduate student. Does the student know and use ASL? Is her first language ASL? For classroom access, the iCommunicator would need to be trained by each instructor in order for it to be useful. (Think of Dragon Naturally Speaking and multiple users.) Also, iCommunicator does NOT provide ASL. Is the student wanting interpreting services? A remote interpreter would provide better communication access than iCommunicator. If you're considering it for 1-on-1 communication, the UbiDuo might be a better alternative. We've had students who simply used WordPad on their laptops (even Netbooks) for brief conversations.

Seating is filling up rapidly and you don't want to miss the opportunity to hear the dynamic presenters we've lined up. Among them will be: Norman Coombs, Ph.D. , CEO of EASI (Equal Access to Software and Information) as well as professor emeritus from the Rochester Institute of Technology where he taught history for 36 years. Since retiring, he has moved to California and is the CEO for EASI. Coombs pioneered RIT's distance learning program and was chosen as New York State CASE, (Council for the Advancement and Support of Education), "Teacher of the Year" award in 1990 for using computers in teaching. In 1998, he was selected Man of the Year Award by AHEAD, in 2000, he was the recipient of the Francis Joseph Campbell Award of the American Library Association for work in helping libraries to meet the needs of customers with disabilities and in 2007 received the Richard Johnson Pioneers in Educational Technology Award from the Western Cooperative on Educational Technology. Besides continuing to teach distance learning classes for RIT, he has taught at a distance for San Diego State University, the New School for Social Research, the University of Washington, the University of Southern Maine, for Environment Canada and for EASI, (Equal Access to Software and Information). Dr. Coombs has lectured on distance learning and on making information systems accessible to students with disabilities across the US as well as in Canada, England, Ireland, Hungary, Mexico, Switzerland and Turkey. His publications include: Information Access and Adaptive Technology which he co-authored with Carmela Cunningham, published in 1997 by Oryx Press and Making Online Teaching Accessible, published by Jossey-Bass in 2010. Along with Dr. Coombs, our other presenters promise to bring insights and relevant experience from the their work in the field of accessibility for student with disabilities. We'll be sending future emails with more information on our other presenters so stay tuned. For more information, please see the Conference program here. Best regards: Carlos M.

I have been trying to send up docs and docxs to Robobraille to convert to Daisy and each time I am getting back the error log saying it has failed. I have tried both tagged and untagged documents. I have converted the same documents using Pipeline and Dolphin Publisher on my computer and used AMIS to read the versions made with success (docx with Save as Daisy) I have used the email service and the web page service - has anyone had similar problems? Or is there any other free online service available or an open source API that could be used to do a similar task? Also is anyone using epub as an accessible format instead of daisy as there seem to be more of these conversion tools available with support on mobile devices? Many thanks for the help.

I did have a problem with Word files not converting using the Robobraille service, but that was because the Word file was not "valid" in the sense that it contained inappropriate formatting. However, you mentioned that you could get the same files converted using Pipeline, so I am curious as to what may be causing the error message. > Also is anyone using epub as an accessible format instead of > daisy as there seem to be more of these conversion tools > available with support on mobile devices? We are in the process of building an online converter that will support the conversion to ePub as we have a number of students who like to use existing ePub readers on their mobile devices. Right now, ePub is a bit more popular than DAISY around here, but I think that may be partially due to what free readers are available on mobile platforms. Robobraille now also supports the conversion to ePub - have you had any success with the conversion to that format?

If use of the ALD doesn't provide her with sufficient communication access in the classroom, then educational transcription (TypeWell/CPrint/CART) might be better alternative. Especially considering she is a graduate student. Does the student know and use ASL? Is her first language ASL? For classroom access, the iCommunicator would need to be trained by each instructor in order for it to be useful. (Think of Dragon Naturally Speaking and multiple users.) Also, iCommunicator does NOT provide ASL. Is the student wanting interpreting services? A remote interpreter would provide better communication access than iCommunicator. If you're considering it for 1-on-1 communication, the UbiDuo might be a better alternative. We've had students who simply used WordPad on their laptops (even Netbooks) for brief conversations.

Some of our IT folks are playing around with the idea of virtual labs too. I think the key is to provide a variety of accessibility options. In many of our labs we provide screen readers, magnification, speech recognition and some kind of scan-and-read software. I would think if virtual labs are a part of a program then providing accessibility to them would be the institution's legal responsibility. The virtual lab concept introduces some technical problems for AT. A few examples of this are; speech recognition input and screen reader output over remote desktop. (RDP requires an additional license for JAWS) Generally speaking, the best way to avoid licensing agreement issues is to use a network licensing system. Freedom Scientific has a licensing server that works with JAWS, MaGic, and WYNN. Other vendors have similar offerings but it is always best to ask the software companies you work with about licensing. Jon P.

Our second phase ( we are currently testing) either to go with HI software or Fireyes installed for our Blackboard/Metro Connect servers/Web servers for Audit/evaluation/repair tool for Campus compliance. To answer your question my best suggestion is to plan purchasing software's can have multiple features and flexible with remote services ( Kurzweil and Don Johnston are not there yet) like Read&write gold Lesser the software's in your image is easier to handle and fix any issues such as drivers etc., another critical part is to prepare accessible templates and splash screens for user rights and specs when they are logging to your system.

URL: From sarojprimlani at gmail.com Tue Jun 28 11:37:01 2011 From: sarojprimlani at gmail.com (Saroj Primlani) Date: Sat Jun 9 18:30:27 2018 Subject: [Athen] Virtual Labs Message-ID: Kenneth, Before my retirement from NC State I have done extensive work on accessibility of remote application. If I understand you correctly you are planing to deploy Windows application using a image on a remote server and use RDP for access. Around 2004 North Carolina State University's launched a Virtual Computing Lab (VCL) which deploys images installed with user selected applications. It is a reservation based remote access solution to all types of software applications. RDP is the protocol used for Windows environment. Since that is what you are planning on using I will focus on RDP. Vendors worked with me to make this happen While all environments all users to share most host / client resources and keyboard and mouse inputs events are sent from the client to remote host machine, video and audio output is redirected from the remote host the local client machine. Some major challenges include: ? Audio output latency from the remote host to client machine ? The remote video (display) is transmitted as an image of host video output making it impossible for the screen reader on the user?s machine to access that information ? Audio is not transmitted from the user's machine to remote host which makes it difficult to functionally use voice recognition Screen Readers Both audio latency and image of display make it a challenge for screen readers. To make it work, the screen output must be processed on the remote machine and sent to the client either 1) by converting to speech on the host machine and transmitted as audio output to the user (creates unacceptable lag to be functionally effective) or 2) by sending the captured data to the speech engine on the user?s machine for audio / braille output. The braille display is installed on the user machine JAWS, VocalEyes and Dolphin's Super Nova all must be installed both on the remote and host machine. When I last worked with them SuperNova and VocalEyes authenticated for license on the on the remote machine and JAWS authenticated the license on the user's machine. In addition it requires the user to have the RDP enable version of the software. So in theory you only need the license on either the remote or local machine. Screen Magnification Most screen magnification software feature magnification range, fonts and cursor/mouse tracking which require constant monitoring of frame and video changes, bit-map caching etc which need to be transmitted to the client. The challenge is all these delta changes in the video image must be transmitted to the client machine without any lag or degradation. I was unable to get ZoomText to work. Dolphin's SuperNova was the best with little lag and shadowing and MAGic worked, however it would shadow if the user moved between the remote application and their local desktop. The AT needed to be installed on both the remote and local machine. Again JAWS authenticated on the user's machine Literacy Software The software tools had no way of sending the audio data to the speech engine on the local machine creating a latency between the audio output and screen changes. For example, highlighted and spoken text were out of sync. Could a problem for some. I was not able to get any of the vendors to work with me. Speech Recognition is still a challenge as one cannot access the voice recognition engine on the remote machine as audio is not transmitted from local to remote. Hope this helps. Things may have changed and improved but this was my experience Feel free to contact me if I can help Saroj On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 3:00 PM, < athen-list-request@mailman1.u.washington.edu> wrote: > Send athen-list mailing list submissions to > athen-list@u.washington.edu > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/athen-list > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > athen-list-request@mailman1.u.washington.edu > > You can reach the person managing the list at > athen-list-owner@mailman1.u.washington.edu > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of athen-list digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Technically speaking, is it a different book? Is the content different? The instructor is requiring/recommending a specific book for a course?are the international copies of books different? 2. Have you been successful in getting e-text files from publishers for these books? The only times I have ever been denied e-text files is with international copies of books. Denied ? not ignored. I?ve been ignored plenty of times from publishers. Because I can?t get the files from the publishers, it?s pretty much guaranteed that I will have to cut up and scan, thereby increasing my production time. Wondering what others are doing with regards to international copies of books that are submitted for e-text/alternate format conversion. Any thoughts or ideas you have on this subject would be very helpful! Thanks.
