[Athen] Accounting Book Etext

[Gaeir Dietrich]

Both OmniPage and FineReader do a very nice job of converting tables and
retaining the formatting. If you work one table at a time, you should be
able to get them to come out correctly. Please call me if you need help. ;-)

I would second Ron's suggestion; we have also on occasion had students ask
us to re-create the spreadsheets in Excel and include those along with the
textbook files.

Given that it is an accounting book the student may actually need access to
the spreadsheet content so they may need to be converted to tables.

Hello, 

 

We are in the process of preparing the alt media for a blind student who is
taking Accounting 1 in the fall. We are converting his text book to Word and
structuring the document with headings, linearizing the side bars and image
text to read correctly, etc. The most formidable challenge we currently face
is dealing with the images of spreadsheets. We are wondering if some of you
have prepared Accounting textbooks for students who are blind and could
share your approach. We have ordered the Learning Ally version, but it won't
be available until about a month after the semester begins at the earliest.
In any case, etext is the student's preferred format.

 

Thanks very much.

Ellen
