Hello all,
Has anyone used an OCR package for handwriting recognition? I have a
student who wants to use this solution to digitize handwritten notes (he
is unable to use a computer for any length of time, but does computer
programming). The student uses a Mac and I am not aware of any
mainstream applications for that platform that support handwriting
recognition.
I have considered recommending the use of a Livescribe Pen and then use
the MyScript app for the handwriting recognition, but he was not
thrilled about this solution. From what I have gathered, the desire is
to write out the actual code and then have this "recognized" into text
that he can copy/paste into programs.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Take care,
Sean

hey Sean,
Is there a tablet and/or bamboo input equivalent for Macs? I've been working with one of our math professors using LIvescribe, handwriting recognition & MathType, but in the PC environment. Also we've been using bamboo tablet input directly into Microsoft Word with MathType & equation editor. I can talk to my contact, Sue Glascoe, and find out what she may have learned from her Mac experiences & math. I'll let you know.

Hi Athenites,
Does anyone have experience you could share with me regarding creating
tactile graphics with an IVEO from Viewplus? 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.
Thanks a lot,
Kathy

Hello,
I am brand new to the world of Assistive Technology. In fact, I went to the
CSUN conference in March and was a bit overwhelmed. I would like to get some
AT training. I am considering the CSUN ATACP program offered by CSUN's
Center on Disabilities. Have any of you gone through that program? If so,
can you give me your thoughts and opinions on that? Or, if anyone has any
other suggestions of trainings for the 'newbie" I would love to hear about
it.
Thanks in advance,
