All of these except the last has already been mentioned. - Evernote is great and will record audio, but the audio is not synced with your writing. So if you have a lot of notes on a long presentation/meeting, surfing through the audio is a pain. - Notability is an amazing app and getting better rapidly. It is primarily designed for hand written notes. If you set it to record, the audio will sync with *typed* notes, but not with the handwritten ones. One, sort of kludgey, way around this is to periodically use the keyboard or drop in an image. (image placements are also sync'ed with audio--click the image (or the typed text) and you move to that point in the audio. You can push notes to the cloud via dropbox. But Notability has no PC or Mac based equivalent, so notes are output as PDF or RTF with the audio file separate. - AudioNote allows you to hand write or type notes and each word is aligned with the audio. When you play back the audio, the words/marks highlight. It's not the greatest note taking app, but the word by word/mark by mark audio sync-ing is the closest equivalent to a LiveScribe pen currently available for the iPad. You can bet that Notability shortly will have word for word/mark for mark syncing similar to AudioNote's. ken -- Ken Petri Program Director, OSU Web Accessibility Center 102D Pomerene Hall, 1760 Neil Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43210 Office: 614.292.1760 | Mobile: 614.218.1499 | Fax: 614.292.4190 http://wac.osu.edu | petri.1@osu.edu On Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 5:06 PM, Julie Balassa wrote: > Oh good, I?m in need of a prize, whatever it may be.

There are a few different apps that can do the synchronization with notes and audio. I have named a few of them at: http://studentaffairs.stanford.edu/oae/at/ios-apps Look under the Notetaking Apps heading. The one that is missing on the above page is Notability which became available in November. It has some very cool functionality (PDF annotation as well) and the developers, Ginger Labs, have done some good work in the past. I believe synchronization only works with typed notes, but for the price, this is one of the best options I have seen.

I wasn't sure if you meant syncs notes and audio with other devices (most do that), syncs one recorded audio file with one page of notes, or syncs audio with individual notes (similar to the Livescribe pen) so you can click on a note and jump to that spot in the recording. So I'll give you two lists. ;-) Notetaking Apps That Sync Audio and Notes at the Individual Note Level (clicking within text or a drawing jumps to that place in recording) - AudioNote - SoundNote - Notability - Audiotorium Notes (user must place audio bookmarks) - CircusPonies NoteBook - PaperDesk - Audiolio (user must place audio bookmarks) - PearNote Notetaking Apps That (as far as I can tell) Only Sync Audio and Notes at the "Whole File" Level (i.e., one audio file to one note or page of notes) - WhiteNote - NotesPlus - EverNote - NoteBook Pro - Sundry Notes - MobileNoter (can create multiple audio files per page) - Noterize And I'm sure there are many others I haven't come across.

NVDA themselves state that their product does not work with Access or PowerPoint. And it works only partially with Outlook 2010. NVDA recommends use of Mozilla Thunderbird as an installed mail client, in lieu of Outlook. My gut is NVDA will not work with PowerPoint going forward, unless MS or some other benefactor gives the project some $ to do the work. ken -- Ken Petri Program Director, OSU Web Accessibility Center 102D Pomerene Hall, 1760 Neil Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43210 Office: 614.292.1760 | Mobile: 614.218.1499 | Fax: 614.292.4190 http://wac.osu.edu | petri.1@osu.edu On Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 9:59 PM, Gabbert, Darren L. wrote: > I thought NVDA had good capability with Microsoft Office products.

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires companies that administer these tests to provide test modifications to best ensure equal access for individuals with disabilities. The high stakes testing industry has generated considerable controversy, a significant number of law suits and voluminous complaints to federal agencies and concerning who has a disability and how to determine what accommodations are necessary to provide equivalent access. At the request of Representatives George Miller, Pete Stark and Cathy McMorris Rodgers the Government Accountability Office (GAO ) examined the process including the types of accommodations requested, factors testing companies consider when making decisions about requests, and how federal agencies enforce ADA compliance within the industry. AHEAD (Association on Higher Education And Disability) and a number of its members participated in the GAO study's interviews that helped provide a context for the GAO's reviews of relevant laws and regulations, testing company policies, data provided by the testing industry, and federal complaint data. The report recommends that the Department of Justice develop a strategic approach to enforcing the ADA in the high stakes testing industry to ensure the timely provision of accommodations to all eligible individuals. Justice has reviewed the report and agrees with its approach and conclusions. This report, the amendments to the ADA, the regulations recently issued under Title I, II and III (particularly Section 309) along with a string of recent court cases clearly confirms an emerging approach to reviewing accommodations requests that is anchored to individual disability histories rather than the snap shots provided by diagnostic testing; more often asking "Why not" in response to a request for accommodation rather than "Why?". This approach will require a more thoughtful and commonsense approach to determining accommodations relying more heavily on unique experience of the individual and the recommendations of clinicians and health care providers in order to achieve the broad goals of the ADA in connection with high stakes tests. AHEAD (Association on Higher Education And Disability - http://www.ahead.org ) has been revising its guidance on best practices in documentation and expects a Spring release. The revisions will place less emphasis on diagnostic tests to determine eligibility; focusing instead on the educational and accommodation histories (formal and informal) of individuals, their supporting narratives and the surrounding context including the development of new technologies. AHEAD encourages other organizations to review their practice and is happy to offer technical assistance; contact AHEAD via e-mail or call (704) 947-7779.

Since 1999, the Hearne Award is the ABA's long standing recognizance of the excellent work people have done to advance the cause for of people with disabilities. Previous Hearne Awardees have included Dr. Marc Maurer and Daniel Goldstein (2011), the Disability Rights Legal Center (2010), and Claudia B. Center (2009). More information about the nomination process can be found at the following URL: http://apps.americanbar.org/members/forms/HearneAward.html . I encourage everyone to pass along this information to any and all that would be interested so that we can continue to recognize the dedication and passion that people have brought for disability rights. I hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays. Here's to a great start to 2012 for us all! Best regards, Faye Kuo Chair of the Hearne Award Committee ABOUT THE AWARD The Hearne Award, created in 1999 by the American Bar Association Commission on Disability Rights, honors the work of Paul G. Hearne, a lawyer who was born with a connective tissue disorder. Although Mr. Hearne's disease limited his growth to less than four feet and restricted his movement, his mark on the disability rights movement, especially from a legal perspective, was tremendous. He founded the first legal services office in New York for people with disabilities, authored the first national legal handbook on disability rights, and helped draft the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The award is presented to an individual who has performed exemplary service in the furtherance of access to justice for people with disabilities, or to an organization or group that furthers the goal of full participation for people with disabilities in society. SELECTION CRITERIA Nominate an individual or an organization/group that performed exemplary service in the furtherance of access to justice for people with disabilities or furthers the goal of full participation for people with disabilities in society. Examples of eligible organizations or groups include: (1) disability advocacy organizations; (2) a law firm or law practice; (3) a state or local bar association; (4) a nonprofit legal services program; (5) a law school clinic or academic-affiliated program; or (6) a law-related program providing representation for people with disabilities.

I'm curious what your current favorite resources are for introductory training for staff, faculty, and/or students that teaches them the basics of using styles and structure in Word and HTML documents. Online options are of particular interest in order to reach larger audiences and so that potential participants could access the information on their own schedule and location. Probably would be something less than 60 minutes to get them started with the basics that they can use right away.

We do a lot of multiple format textbooks, and are using a Canon Image Formula DR 2010c. You can find the free scanning software on the web to download to work with it, and it defaults to scan into PDF format. Our printing service takes the bindings off the textbooks for us and replaces it afterwards with a ring binding. We also contact each publisher, requesting electronic format, which is becoming more available.

This book details the decision making process that starts your design process for your presentation. The accessibility of your PowerPoint documents depends on how you are going to distribute them. The chapters in this book provide information on what elements of a slide can be accessible and how someone using adaptive technology can access tables, Excel or Word documents, shapes or SmartArt. You'll learn how to make accessible slide masters...which is not as difficult as you might think. You can purchase the book from Karlen Communications by invoice or PO.

It really depends on the individual student, the subject matter, and the way in which the information will be used. For graphics in textbooks or other materials that are known ahead of time we make sure there are good descriptions within the text or Braille file, then ask the students to let us know which graphics they want processed. Most students only want specific or representative samples, not each and every graphic. When we are producing graphics from the book, or from handouts, we use the swell paper and Image Enhancer - often needing to adjust the size and level of detail to ensure the student is getting what he or she needs. Sometimes we'll produce two versions of the same graphic if it is a complex one - done at different scales, or with a focus on different features. For graphics that need to be created on the fly (an important illustration drawn on the board that relates to an in-class project for example) we have thin plastic sheets on a rubber treated clipboard that a classroom aide can use to render a raised line drawing in real time.

We have transitioned our tactile graphic production to using Adobe Illustrator in conjunction with a Tiger Pro Gen 2 Embosser (yeah - the really big one). We previously used MS Word, but ran into a variety of issues. Even though there is a steep learning curve to using Adobe Illustrator, it has actually sped up the production of tactile graphics. I have attached a copy of the instructions we follow for including the Braille in Illustrator files. We have noticed one issue with using Adobe Illustrator with the Tiger and have not been able to determine what is happening. For some files, we get a different set of dots for the same line thickness. For example, we may make several thick lines, but some of the thick lines have a one-dot thickness whereas the other thick lines have a two-dot thickness when embossed. Not a major issue, but frustrating nonetheless. Otherwise, we have the capacity to create tactile graphics using the PIAF "toaster" as well as using various objects for three-dimensional models. Most of the time, it depends on the subject matter and specific capabilities and desires of the student. In terms of 3-D printing, there was an article about a blind student at UC Davis (go Ags!) who was in a chemistry class and used 3-D printing as a solution: http://blueline.ucdavis.edu/2ndTier/3rdTier/3Dprinting.html Not a cheap solution, but with the price of 3-D printers coming down each year this may be another possible solution for improving access to instructional content.

It automatically narrates presentation text when giving a presentation The concept of Powertaalk is it lets you run any presentation as usual using Powerpoint and it reads the text as it appears. When you run PowerTalk it simply starts PowerPoint and passes text to Windows SAPI Text to Speech (TTS). That way it handles any language, assuming you have suitable voice installed. YOur presentation can contain anythig you like - Powertalk only gets interested in the text. You can use Sounds or recorded annotation (which are audio) on your presentation, but there is no syncronisation so it is possible the PowerTalk TTS naration will clash. You should be able to minmise that with careful design of your slides NVDA works well with IBM symphony but not as well with OpenOffice or LibreOffice. However now OpenOffice has enteredthe Apache incubatin process it's very likely the required support for tools such as NVDA will be included. I don't know about MS Office as the accessibility glue is differeent. but you can no doubt find out on he NVDA site or community. I hope that helps.

I attended the public hearing by phone yesterday and the comments were very interesting. Some of the themes from the public hearing: 1. We need an update soon, the current ICT is very out of date and industry is losing interest in implementing accessibility 2.

One of the instructors who is part of the pilot needs to provide longer periods-of-time for taking some assessments (tests and quizzes) to some students with disabilities. The instructor has used Adaptive Release in past versions of Blackboard. She has not been able to get this to work in Blackboard Learn and she has not been able to find any documentation for alternatives. Would anyone on the list be able to provide information on giving extra time on assessments to students who need it, in Blackboard Learn 9?

I'm more familiar with the iPad than with Android tablets like the Nook or the new Kindle Fire, so... Your best bets for the iPad are probably the Learning Ally Audio app (which you mentioned) for listening to narrated audiobooks: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/learning-ally-audio/id418888450?mt=8 ...and the Read2Go app from Bookshare for e-text (mainly because of the tie-in to Bookshare): http://read2go.org/ http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/read2go/id425585903?mt=8 You can download e-text textbooks from Bookshare as well, including NIMAC textbooks for the K-12 set who have IEPs. Apple's free iBooks app can use the iPad's built-in VoiceOver function: http://www.apple.com/accessibility/ipad/vision.html VoiceOver works with text in other apps, too, but will not read aloud books in the Kindle app, and the Kindle app does not currently have text-to-speech. Also, VoiceOver does not visually highlight words or sentences while reading. Check Chapters 22 and 24 in the iPad iOS5 User Guide for instructions on iBooks and VoiceOver: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf ...or Chapters 19 and 21 in the iOS 4.3 User Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf There's also a new "Speak Selection" feature in iOS5 which may work within other apps (see Chapter 24 in the iOS5 manual). As for what students prefer, this varies by student and by the task. Some prefer the human voices of DAISY audiobooks from Learning Ally for the intonation, inflection, etc.; other prefer to hear the text while seeing it visually highlighted and prefer apps like Read2Go. Some do fine with the audio-only for novels, but prefer to both see and hear the text when reading for comprehension (e.g., a social studies book). Therefore, I usually have to evaluate this on a student-by-student basis to equip them with the tools which are right for their needs, preferences, and tasks. Hope this helps, Shelley _____________________________ Shelley Haven ATP, RET Assistive Technology Consultant www.TechPotential.net On Jan 13, 2012, at 1:59 PM, Carol Brown wrote: > Several LD students who have used text to speech programs in the past have recently received IPads, Nooks or Kindles.

I'm not sure they know yet either. It is for West Chester Community College. Dick Banks and I did an all-day event for them plus some online follow-up probably 5-6 years ago. I think most of the faculty found it challenging and interesting but let it go in one ear and out the other. It now sounds like they are a bit more willing to learn. We stressed Word, PowerPoint, some Excel some multimedia especially captions and a beginner understanding of html accessibility as faculty won't be really doing Web sites but could use help in making course lessons they put online or in Blackboard accessible when the simple content gets repurposed into html.

It is a full-text and full-audio DAISY player. I have many students who use the GoodReader app to read PDFs and other text files. This app allows students to interact with their readings by highlighting, adding text boxes, sticky notes, and drawings, which helps some students with learning disabilities learn their material. Other students with mobility or physical impairments could benefit from using this app because they can sync-up their books and read from GoodReader on their iPad (rather than needing to carry all their books). I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions!

I'm more familiar with the iPad than with Android tablets like the Nook or the new Kindle Fire, so... Your best bets for the iPad are probably the Learning Ally Audio app (which you mentioned) for listening to narrated audiobooks: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/learning-ally-audio/id418888450?mt=8 ...and the Read2Go app from Bookshare for e-text (mainly because of the tie-in to Bookshare): http://read2go.org/ http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/read2go/id425585903?mt=8 You can download e-text textbooks from Bookshare as well, including NIMAC textbooks for the K-12 set who have IEPs. Apple's free iBooks app can use the iPad's built-in VoiceOver function: http://www.apple.com/accessibility/ipad/vision.html VoiceOver works with text in other apps, too, but will not read aloud books in the Kindle app, and the Kindle app does not currently have text-to-speech. Also, VoiceOver does not visually highlight words or sentences while reading. Check Chapters 22 and 24 in the iPad iOS5 User Guide for instructions on iBooks and VoiceOver: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf ...or Chapters 19 and 21 in the iOS 4.3 User Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf There's also a new "Speak Selection" feature in iOS5 which may work within other apps (see Chapter 24 in the iOS5 manual). As for what students prefer, this varies by student and by the task. Some prefer the human voices of DAISY audiobooks from Learning Ally for the intonation, inflection, etc.; other prefer to hear the text while seeing it visually highlighted and prefer apps like Read2Go. Some do fine with the audio-only for novels, but prefer to both see and hear the text when reading for comprehension (e.g., a social studies book). Therefore, I usually have to evaluate this on a student-by-student basis to equip them with the tools which are right for their needs, preferences, and tasks. Hope this helps, Shelley _____________________________ Shelley Haven ATP, RET Assistive Technology Consultant www.TechPotential.net On Jan 13, 2012, at 1:59 PM, Carol Brown wrote: Several LD students who have used text to speech programs in the past have recently received IPads, Nooks or Kindles.

Though it's probably not ideal for responding to questions, one thing ReadHear allows is annotated bookmarks. So a student theoretically could read the test/document/book using ReadHear and set bookmarks/notes for each question, using the note as a place to respond to the question. The Save As Daisy plugin, when used in Word with MathType installed, will output valid DAISY + MathML. I'm not sure if this is any better than having an HTML form field as an area for response, though. As for screen reader capable math composition, I think most students at higher levels will likely compose math in LaTeX.

Apparently the plan is to expand it to all institution computers in the near future. A pilot project attempted a couple of years ago was fraught with technical problems and was dropped. At that time my research indicated such environments were not AT friendly. This time around the two companies identified as vendors were Vmware and Wyse. A preliminary scan of their web sites were not encouraging. Vmware's last posted VPAT was dated 2009 and listed many exceptions to accessibility. On the Wyse website the following is posted 'Wyse thin clients are "Assistive technology-ready." They can work with any assistive technology that has been configured to work in a multi-user server-based computing environment operating in any of the Windows or legacy server environments that work with Wyse terminals.' We at the Disabilities Resource Center are concerned about accessibility issues with programs such as Kurzweil 3000, JAWS and Zoomtext. Our IT department has never been in favor of running such software on our servers. We are heavily invested in the K3000 web version, usb version of JAWS, and standalone versions of Zoomtext. What accessibility experiences have any of you had with these two types of environments? Thank you in advance for your responses.

Greg -- Greg Kraus University IT Accessibility Coordinator NC State University 919.513.4087 greg_kraus@ncsu.edu From sarojprimlani at gmail.com Sat Jan 21 09:03:35 2012 From: sarojprimlani at gmail.com (Saroj Primlani) Date: Sat Jun 9 18:30:44 2018 Subject: [Athen] Re: athen-list Digest, Vol 72, Issue 33 In-Reply-To: <201201202000.q0KK0fB8005389@mxout11.cac.washington.edu> References: <201201202000.q0KK0fB8005389@mxout11.cac.washington.edu> Message-ID: Larry, Non web-based virtual environments like you are describing the applications are installed and processed on the host system and the "host's" interface (desktop) is sent to the client as an "image" which by it's nature is not accessible to the blind individual. This environments uses a remote protocol (RDP for Windows for example) to send keystrokes/mouse events from the client to the server receive audio from the server and share files and storage. The challenge is to make AT work. At NC State we started using non-web based environments around 2007 to provided students with 24/7 access to labs we worked with vendors to make them as accessible as possible. Since I have been retired for a year my information on the state of AT /technology may not be up to date but these what we were able to make work. An image was created based on user's request and generally used RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) for access. Input events from adaptive and virtual keyboards/mouse that sent information to the processor as standard input events had posed no problems. Screen readers need to be available on both the remote (host image) and the client. The screen reader processes on the host and sends the data to the client screen reader for audio/braille output. All commercial screen readers work this way, I have not tired it with NVDA. Dolphins Supernova and WindowEyes required the license version to be installed on the host system. JAWS, on the other hand requires the license remote access version to be installed on the client. Screen magnification, the challenge is dragging and delay of the changes in the display required using commercial system. Super Nova worked the best, MAGic worked, but there was shadow/drag if the user switched between the remote on client system. ZoomText did not work. Text-to- speech software can be used, however if highlighting is used simultaneously with audio output, the audio was always behind the highlight word so there was no synchronization. Voice recognition was the biggest challenge and very hard achieve. We played around with it but were not successful I hope this helps.

I downloaded a few of the samples in their new iBooks 2 app and like the features offered by those including a likely lower price, multimedia presentations, and highlighting & study cards. I haven't explored them using voiceover yet and wondering if others on this list have gotten a chance to explore this new offering. If so, what are your thoughts, especially in regard to accessibility? Here are some links for those who haven't checked this out yet: iBooks Author application: http://www.apple.com/ibooks-author/ Link to the video announcement: http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1201oihbafvpihboijhpihbasdouhbasv/event/index.html Some not-too-surprising limitations of the authoring tool, the audio files cannot be mp3 but instead must be AAC files and video needs to be in quicktime format. I'm imagining that if the initial publishers jump on the bandwagon and start cranking out a lot of books they'd have the opportunity to craft accessible content if they make plans for it early on in their process. Otherwise they'd replicate what has happened with web content for years.

I've already responded to that so my question to you all techies out there: Will either Windows 7 Speech Recognition or the Apple I-Speak be accurate enough for a speaker at a meeting of Deaf & HoH to use as a substitute for CART services? Any of you who have knowledge of either of these options (aside from the Dragon one), please respond today if possible and offer other suggestions if neither of these are workable. Thanks in advance for you knowledge & expertise. Wink Following is part of the request to me. [.I am doing] an experiment with Windows 7 Speech Recognition in preparation for a 3 part seminar/class series entitled "Living Confidently with Hearing Loss" starting next week on February 2nd. It will be set up with A/V support whereby we will have a PP projector to put up what is printing out on the laptop or computer screen. We have been providing CART at our monthly meetings and it is just simply expensive and it will cost us over $300 to provide CART services for the 3 meetings. Someone in the committee yesterday shared with me the voice recognition on his I-PAD and it worked pretty well, even with MY voice!!! The captioning for the meetings, including the seminar series, do not have to be as accurate as for college students with their courses but just to help the participants be able to follow along with the discussion and presentations. My question and request for advice from you is this: Will this work for our meetings and seminar series if we were to get Dragon NS with its headset or will Windows 7 suffice? Is this even a feasible idea and one that will work for meeting type uses from DNS or Windows 7 Speech Recognition. If the DNS or Windows 7 Speech Recognition will work, it will save me over $800 a year from not having to hire CART services for our monthly meetings, let alone the special seminars that I will schedule for this community just this year alone. If so, it will be worth getting a new laptop (I have a basic one that is 6 years old) with Windows 7 to use for my new career. All this came about because I was having trouble arranging for a CART service provider for the seminar series and also when the lead person for CART in Flag said that we can get one but with $200 per session which I think is simply ridiculously expensive. I will go out and buy whatever you recommend if this is a workable idea and if so, I need to do it this week. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
