Completely by accident, I discovered today that Dragon NaturallySpeaking will actually dictate into the remote computer! I am using Team Viewer for the RLO (free) software. This was a pleasant surprise. Those of you who may need to recommend something like this for any of your technicians, technology specialist, or students, this may be extremely helpful to know. If you feel curious & pesky, some of you may wish to try this out with other RLO software. Please let me know your experiences. I would be curious to know what other software might work with Dragon via remote login. Thanks in advance. Blessings, Wink -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Due to the known incompatibility issues with AT and many of the secure exam browsers (ExamGuard, Respondus Lockdown, etc.) we regularly notify faculty that they may need to reconsider the use of such browsers overall ("are they really necessary?") or at least be willing to offer a workable alternative to a student who relies on AT. We also bring into the conversation the fact that the exam environment should be equivalent for the entire class - one student should not be forced to take an exam with a proctor in an on-campus testing center during business hours if everyone else gets to take it unproctored in their bedroom at 10pm if they so choose.

If your student needs text to speech access rather than a full screenreader, then using Apple's built-in Speech will probably be a good solution. I send these links to a lot of students: Speech is the built-in text reading software your Mac has. There are great instructions in video and print versions for using it for various purposes To read text in TextEdit, Safari, and many other programs: http://etc.usf.edu/techease/4all/vision/how-can-i-use-text-to-speech-in-mac-os-x/ To read a PDF file aloud: http://etc.usf.edu/techease/4all/learning/how-do-i-use-previews-speech-feature-to-listen-to-a-pdf/ To automatically convert a text file to an audio file in iTunes: http://etc.usf.edu/techease/4all/learning/how-do-i-use-the-speech-service-in-mac-os-x-to-record-text-into-an-audio-file/ And I'd second Jeff's statement - GhostReader is a good inexpensive choice with some nice voices.

Message-ID: <4FD91132.6020500@stanford.edu> Hello all, I have been doing some creative thinking and looking at different options to develop an inventory tracking system for assistive technology equipment loans. In the past, we have done bar code labels, but are now exploring 2-D bar code options (QR codes, Microsoft Tag, etc) as a way to access information about a device. The question I have is how are people currently tracking such loans? Access or Filemaker databases? Excel or Google Docs spreadsheets? Web-based platforms (e.g., Drupal)? All of the above? I have started working on a few options here, but am doing a "literature review" to see what others may have implemented at their institution.

I would imagine that this would run into a pretty expensive task. Have you given any thought and/or experienced the use of Dragon with an ultrabook or the macbook air? This would give the user a full accessible computer.

It is much less accurate than DragonNaturally Speaking, error prone both in terms of recognition & commands. I do not know if it is designed to transcribe from a recording. Dragon does all of that. If you want a more accurate, less frustrating experience, get dragon. You can use it for 30 days & if it doesn't suit your needs for any reason, you can get a refund. Nuance also sells a very reliable portable recorder which can serve two purposes: make an audio recording of a lecture or meeting, or transcribe YOUR voice into text. It is not synchronus. You physically have to take the recorder back to the computer where you've got Dragon installed, plug I have the cable & transcribe to text. Message me directly for more info. I'm proficient in speech to text and do lots if training on Dragon. I am disappointed in the quality of the MS speech to text engine. Impressed with the improvements Nuance has made. Will be happy to help.
