I do not typically give anyone I just met on CL my number with just a message or two but I'm fairly certain you can understand why. I have a page w/ my photos and # on my page but its not public you do a quick screening thing and then you'll be able to see it. This way, I know that you're not a horny teen messing around on Craigslist (it has happened to me a few times) and to know that you're not a psycho sex offender. shoot me a text b4 u call me if u can, just to tell me its u. If not leave a VM and I'll give ya a ring if I can't answer. I should be back home in an hour or two and I hope that we'll be able to set up a meet.

Dawn ~~ Dawn Hunziker Technology Access Coordinator Disability Resource Center 520-626-9409 hunziker@email.arizona.edu I am writing to inquire if the DRC has anyone who can assist me with Dragon Medical Software which I use at the Crisis Response Center. I have had a worsening of problems with my hands and it is critical that I decrease the amount of keyboarding. I can do this by maximizing accuracy of Dragon and making a modification to my 8 character password which I need to type numerous times, I.e. with every order entry and every note. I have tried to problem solve with the COO of CRC who informed me that the software had a security setting which could not be modified for fewer password characters.

It may help others on the list, so please share. I also had an occasion to have a conversation with a colleague at ASU about a similar topic (not Dragon solvable) and my response was for overbearingly too frequent login & passwords for folks with mobility impairments, consider using a data-encrypted password utility such as LastPass where it can store accounts & passwords in encrypted format. This allows someone a one or two key press entry instead of multiple, complicated key presses to accomplish repetitive tasks. Hope this is helpful. Wink Dawn, The login & password can be set up by creating a macro for each one. As long as the screen is accessible for DNS to work. The directions for creating the macro are fairly simple and are available on the HELP file menu. It could be done to set up as a PRESS SHIFT 6 for the login and PRESS SHIFT 7 for the password, then PRESS ENTER to continue. I'm currently working on creating macros to enter braille code, so a macro for a password is pretty easy to solve. The accuracy for Dragon medical can be improved by importing vocabulary specific to the job and by running accuracy updates on the profile frequently. If she uses the DNS at the same workstation, she can import the vocabulary from the hard disc & from her emails (if she sends many, it would be helpful). She can also import word lists. She should practice practice practice the recognition of DNS --reading medical journals, "fake" case notes --even reading the vocabulary from the blank forms (not filled out) is good practice. Here's my cell & personal email. Let me know if you (collectively) need help.

Copyright ? The Librarian of Congress recently announced a decision of significant import for the future of information access rights. Endorsing a favorable recommendation by the Registrar of Copyrights concerning a petition filed jointly by the American Foundation for the Blind and the American Council of the Blind, the Librarian of Congress has determined that copyright protection measures built into ebooks and other electronic materials will no longer pose needless barriers to the materials' use by people who are blind or who otherwise have print disabilities. ? Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), it is unlawful to circumvent digital rights management or related technological protections built into a work, such as an ebook, unless the Librarian of Congress has established an exemption allowing circumvention in certain contexts. The exemption that the Librarian of Congress has established now allows individuals with print disabilities, as well as public and nonprofit organizations with a primary mission to meet their information access needs, to avoid the subst penalties that would otherwise be imposed. The recently-adopted exemption ensures access to all: ? "Literary works, distributed electronically, that are protected by technological measures which either prevent the enabling of read-aloud functionality or interfere with screen readers or other applications or assistive technologies, (i) when a copy of such a work is lawfully obtained by a blind or other person with a disability, as such a person is defined in 17 U.S.C. 121; provided, however, the rights owner is remunerated, as appropriate, for the price of the mainstream copy of the work as made available to the general public through customary channels; or (ii) when such work is a nondramatic literary work, lawfully obtained and used by an authorized entity pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 121." ? This sweeping exemption represents a marked improvement over the original exemption first granted in 2003 but which the Copyright Office had abandoned altogether in recent years. By reinstating and expanding this exemption, it is now clear that both individuals and organizations may freely bypass copyright protection measures that get in the way of accessibility. By explicitly granting authorized entities (as defined by the so-called Chafee Amendment) to circumvent protection measures, and thereafter to widely distribute the content in specialized formats including electronic format, this exemption should prove very useful in the ongoing effort to achieve equality in information access. ? The Librarian of Congress also granted a narrow exemption concerning audio visual works for the purpose of research and development in the fields of captioning and description. This limited exemption, while falling well short of the exemption proposed by the deafness and vision loss communities which would have broadened dissemination of third-party-produced captioned and described video content when rights owners fail to caption or describe their productions, will nevertheless help to facilitate the proliferation of new and creative means for the delivery of both captioning and description in the DVD and online video spaces.

Hi Karen, I read through the new LOC guidelines that Ron sent the link for this am. If a copyright owner (as defined in the Chaffee Amendment) does not make their AV/Multimedia material accessible (captioning and/or descriptive oration), a third-party may do so without obtaining direct consent if used for educational purposes or if purchased through normal means for personal use, without violating copyright statutes or rights. Because this is at the federal level, it supercedes state codes. Sharing can now occur, if for educational purposes and students with documented sensory or print disabilities, without fear of copyright violation. Although there are some that are disappointed with the limitations that are still in place, I think that this is a huge step in the right direction.

Motion Pictures and Other Audiovisual Works?Captioning and Descriptive Audio Motion pictures and other audiovisual works on DVDs that are protected by the Content Scrambling System, or that are distributed by an online service and protected by technological measures that control access to such works, when circumvention is accomplished solely to access the playhead and/or related time code information embedded in copies of such works and solely for the purpose of conducting research and development for the purpose of creating players capable of rendering visual representations of the audible portions of such works and/or audible representations or descriptions of the visual portions of such works to enable an individual who is blind, visually impaired, deaf, or hard of hearing, and who has lawfully obtained a copy of such a work, to perceive the work; provided however, that the resulting player does not require circumvention of technological measures to operate. Does not provide any exemption for the creation of (and sharing of) caption/audio descriptions. Specifically, ?the Register? states it would not at this time allow that exception due to the lack of evidence presented: Beyond research and development, the Register found that the scope of proponents? intended uses was difficult to discern from proponents? written submissions, as the papers were fraught with broad generalizations. During the hearing, proponents were able to articulate three broad categories of conduct: (1) Conducting research and development on accessible technologies to develop a player capable of presenting or manipulating captions or descriptive audio (as discussed above); (2) creating such captions or descriptive audio or corrections thereto; and (3) presenting such captions or descriptive audio along with the underlying lawfully acquired work. Still, the precise contours of certain aspects of the proponents? intended exploitation of the proposed exemption remained elusive. ? However, fair use analyses are, by statute, necessarily fact specific. Most of the proposed uses relating to the creation of captions and descriptive audio proposed by the proponents were so generally described that the Register found it impossible to evaluate whether they would be non-infringing. For example, proponents discussed both creating captions for content that is uncaptioned, including through crowdsourcing techniques, and fixing incorrect or poorly implemented captions. Each of these activities could have different implications under a traditional fair use analysis. Absent specific facts pertaining to the particularized uses, however, such an analysis was not possible. ? The Register and NTIA were in agreement on the need to ??open the doors for innovation and empower the millions of Americans with visual and hearing disabilities to participate to the fullest possible extent in our society?s multimedia culture.?? However, for the reasons described above, the Register determined that, based on the current record, a more narrowly tailored class to permit research and development of assistive technologies was appropriate. The Register nonetheless made a point of encouraging the continued development of accessibility technologies and future proposals for exemptions to advance such efforts.

I think that point 8 in the opinion makes this applicable for sharing. Also, it points to the Chaffee Amendment. The alternate text is for the student's personal use. I think that contextually it means that we are limited to providing to students with print and sensory disabilities, but prohibited from general distribution i.e. providing a link to a school hosted captioned copy for an entire class vs. a student with a disability.

Hi Karen, I read through the new LOC guidelines that Ron sent the link for this am. If a copyright owner (as defined in the Chaffee Amendment) does not make their AV/Multimedia material accessible (captioning and/or descriptive oration), a third-party may do so without obtaining direct consent if used for educational purposes or if purchased through normal means for personal use, without violating copyright statutes or rights. Because this is at the federal level, it supercedes state codes. Sharing can now occur, if for educational purposes and students with documented sensory or print disabilities, without fear of copyright violation. Although there are some that are disappointed with the limitations that are still in place, I think that this is a huge step in the right direction.

Message-ID: <3BDAB0D17C965648940B90D4B59685C71C8F4091@exch14-mb1.tu.temple.edu> Hi, We're in the process of writing up standards for computer labs, and the question was raised "Is it accessible to designate which workstations are the accessible workstations, just like is done in parking lots?" Some accessibility software is in the base image, so a student can go to any workstation in the lab and use items like ZoomText and Read&Write Gold. However, some software/hardware is workstation specific. Is it acceptable to have a sign (international symbol) to indicate the workstations with AT on them? Would it be better to have some other indication (a universal indicator across all computer labs such as an orange dot on the monitor and a tactile marker on the corner of the desk), so that the people with disabilities would know which workstations have AT on them, but it wouldn't necessarily be obvious to other students? I'd appreciate your response. Thanks, -Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: I would suggest the signage mirror what is typically on a bus rather than a parking lot. Accessible parking is for permit holders only. On buses in front where the seats fold up to make room for a wheelchair and where the driver can provide assistance to riders with other disabilities if needed is a sign that typically reads You may be asked to move from this seat to provide access for individuals with disabilities. So an access symbol and something like This workstation is loaded with adaptive software, you may be asked to change workstations in order to provide access. The policy should be that someone not needing the unique features of the workstation would move to an open station. If none were open they would continue to work and the individual with the need would wait for a station to open. At that point the person at the accessible workstation moves and the individual with a disability goes to the now vacant accessible station.

Dec. 17 on the exciting access for all project Message-ID: <6.0.3.0.2.20121122202153.03b2fe70@pop.gmail.com> EASI Free Webinar: IMS Access for All version 3: accessibility through personalization Monday Dec 17th, 11 Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 Central and 2pm Eastern Presenters: ? Anastasia Cheetham, Inclusive Design Research Centre, OCAD University ? Andy Heath, Axelrod Access for All ? Madeleine Rothberg, WGBH National Center for Accessible Media ? Rich Schwerdtfeger, IBM This access for all project is a ground-breaking project that seeks to let each person connect with the Web in ways that will automatically taylor the experience to fit precisely into that person's specific needs and preferences. It holds the potential for an amazing revolution in the computer and smart phone world!!! The Access for All standard offers an approach to meet the needs of diverse users in diverse contexts by personalizing the experience of each user. Access for All suggests that the best way to meet individual's particular needs at that time in that context is to deliver digital materials in the way that is most accessible to that person. Access for All defines the personal preferences statements and resource metadata necessary to support this matching. Access for All is in use in educational sites and will soon be integrated into larger platforms including the Global Public Inclusive Infrastructure. Version 3 of the standard from IMS offers a compact Core model and bindings to support varied technical approaches.
