Both the PIAF machine and ZyChem machine work very well. I personally think they are both better than the TIE, so I think you have a great reason to get a new machine! <grin>

Also, just as an FYI, I recommend purchasing the capsule paper through American Thermoform. Human Ware's paper right now is flimsy and substandard.

Best wishes!

Please forgive cross-postings:

Does anyone have experience with 247AccessibleDocuments.com?  (https://247accessibledocuments.com/Aboutus.aspx) They are claiming the ability to take PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoint presentations and return accessible versions to the client. I know that of course that is quite possible, but has anyone worked directly with them and have any comments to share?

I agree with you on the paper.  I?ve been purchasing from American Thurmoform for some time now.  It has always done very well for us.

I?m really interested in the machine from AT since I haven?t seen any output from it.  I?ve seen from the PIAF and TIE so I would like to compare.

I visited their booth at CSUN and am waiting for them to send me a sample of their work.  They didn't have any samples, just print brochures.

I'd also be interested in anyone with experience with this company.

I know their workforce is in India and they have an office in Singapore, but that is all I know.

Cheers, Karen

One key thing about their advertising: they charge $8.50 per page for
remediation.

 

Having a firm that performs remediation, I wonder: what exactly are they
defining as a page? Is that just text? Any tables? Graphics that need
Alt-text? What about hyperlinks and cross-references? Complex piecemeal
pages from InDesign layouts?

 

Would love to know more!

Okay, I can?t seem to get much info on the ZyChem machine.  I?ve been around their site (at least what I can find) and there is no price listed.

Does anybody use the Swell Forms Graphics machine from American Thurmoform?

Anyone know if you can create "skip logic" in a pdf form using Adobe
Acrobat Pro. I saw some references online for doing this via Adobe
LifeCycle but as I understand it Lifecycle is no longer around. I see
nothing in Adobe help online about this option for Acrobat DC. Ug.

This may not be the most helpful suggestion, but my thought is to see if you can use an alternative to PDF. I like Frevvo Live Forms because they're screen reader accessible (at least in my testing) and you can set them up to fill out the fields in PDFs like government documents and such. Not sure if the exported PDFs retain a tagging structure, though.

Regarding the skip links, if you need to use a PDF, my thought would be to see if you can add a piece of text in Acrobat Pro and hyperlink it to a bookmarked section elsewhere in the page. You might have your best luck making the non-form portion in Word (adding the hyperlink in Word first), and then manually adding the form fields in Acrobat later. 

I'm not sure if that makes sense...?

Oh, wait, please disregard my previous response. I misinterpreted "skip logic" as "skip to content."

Just doing some quick skimming online, it looks like you can do this in Adobe FormsCentral, but that particular product has been retired. I'm thinking that you might be able to get ahold of it if you can find a standalone installer for Acrobat XI. But I honestly haven't used FormsCentral much, so I can't say with any certainty.

In order to get the best results for accessibility in a PDF document you MUST add the form controls to an untagged document. You can use the tool in Acrobat to create links from URL?s BEFORE you Tag the document but the web addresses have to include the http://www... Or use the Link Tool to create a contextual link from text in the document BEFORE you Tag the document.

 

Coming from Word, this is the only time you use the Print > Adobe PDF instead of the Save As PDF ability.

 

Cheers, Karen

Hi Howard,
I think it?s unclear whether Adobe LifeCycle ES4 is available or not (it still may be). See: http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/tools/designer.
I think it was removed from Acrobat Pro at version X and then became its own product.  If you?re stuck without it , then it?s worth a conversation with Adobe.

I think it is now a product called ?ES? that comes with the Adobe Creative Suite or Adobe Creative Designs Suite?with InDesign and Photoshop and things.

 

I did try to order it when I was using Acrobat XI as it was an additional tool you had to order based on your license from Adobe for Acrobat. While I filled out the form and they said I qualified, they never sent a download link or any other information.

 

So if you are using it you will most likely have to find an older version that is not integrated into Acrobat or use both a newer version of Acrobat and an older one?not sure they will both live together harmoniously on one computer.

 

Keep in mind that when you create forms using LiveCycle Designer they are XFA forms that are only using Reader/Acrobat to view them in and are not necessarily PDF as we know it. There is also no accessibility validator for XFA forms.

Hi Howard,

I think it?s unclear whether Adobe LifeCycle ES4 is available or not (it still may be). See: http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/tools/designer.

I think it was removed from Acrobat Pro at version X and then became its own product.  If you?re stuck without it , then it?s worth a conversation with Adobe.

Anyone know if you can create "skip logic" in a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. I saw some references online for doing this via Adobe LifeCycle but as I understand it Lifecycle is no longer around. I see nothing in Adobe help online about this option for Acrobat DC. Ug.

Message-ID: <BY2PR08MB268B3CFD22AAAFE20D7FB07D49F0@BY2PR08MB268.namprd08.prod.outlook.com>

Hello friends & colleagues,

As you know, together we were able to improve the accessibility/usability of many products in the past 10-12 years. We collaborate successfully with many vendors for higher education including Blackboard, Desire2Learn, Moodle, Instructure, Elsevier, Ebsco Publishing, Elluminate, Qualtrics, Trumba, ServiceNow, and many more.

In 2013 a couple of colleagues of mine from UIUC and I tested & evaluated Microsoft Lync and Outlook. We shared the results with them and wanted to engage them in similar collaboration efforts as we have with all other vendors but we were unable to do it as their NDA terms and conditions were not acceptable to the UIUC legal team. As the result, we never had the chance to discuss our findings with the respective product development teams.

The good news is that they have used our findings about Outlook and Lync to improve their accessibility in their latest versions. I don't know at this time how much of our recommendations have been utilized in the latest version but I am glad that they have at least considered them.

Last week a couple of my UW-IT colleagues and I had a productive meeting with JJ Cadiz, the head of program management for Desktop Outlook and principal owner of accessibility for all the Outlook clients and a few colleagues of his team. We discussed how we could collaborate and contribute to the accessibility of Microsoft products.

To be honest with you, I have never seen Microsoft so motivated to work with the accessibility community toward improving the accessibility of their products, and I would like to use this opportunity to establish a constructive and productive collaboration with them.

We are working to establish two parallel groups that will be working with Microsoft on accessibility of their products. This is a rare opportunity for us to get involved and shape the accessibility of the products that we all have been using in hopes of changing the culture of accessibility at Microsoft.
1. Microsoft Collaboration Group
Microsoft Collaboration Group is a long-term project to extensively improve Microsoft Office family products. Some of the products in question are Outlook client, OWA, SharePoint, Office 365, etc.


*         Purpose:

o   Establish a long-lasting, sleek, and energetic collaboration group with Microsoft.

o   Select one product at a time, identify accessibility/usability issues, and discuss the findings with the respective Microsoft development team.

*         Commitment:

o   Have knowledge and experience in accessibility and accessible design.

o   Are interested in collaborating on accessibility of MS products.

o   Can dedicate minimum of 5 hours in a month.

This collaboration involves accessibility/usability testing and evaluation and reporting on the products that we choose. We will finalize the logistics once we have the 10 members.

2. Mac Outlook Project
Mac Outlook Project is a project focusing specifically on Mac Outlook. We want five folks use it as their everyday, primary mail client. We expect to have Mac Outlook insider builds available for a long time.

*         Purpose:

o   Provide direct feedback to Mac Outlook Engineering Team about the accessibility and design of the product.

*         Commitment:

o   Be an everyday user of Mac Outlook who's living on the insider builds.

o   Provide ten to fifteen minute feedback on rare (maybe one per month) design changes.

o   Available for the occasional (once every 3 months) 1-hour call.

Time commitment would be for as long as folks are willing to participate.

If you are interested to join either of these collaboration groups, please let me know.

Thanks,
Hadi

Please add me to the list, I use both PC and Mac Office products. Also have Android and iOS devices tied into the service. Currently using OEM and would like to see improvements there; not really an accessibility issue, but rather an access issue.

Thanks,

Subject: [Athen] Microsoft Accessibility Collaboration Opportunities

Hello friends & colleagues,

As you know, together we were able to improve the accessibility/usability of many products in the past 10-12 years. We collaborate successfully with many vendors for higher education including Blackboard, Desire2Learn, Moodle, Instructure, Elsevier, Ebsco Publishing, Elluminate, Qualtrics, Trumba, ServiceNow, and many more.

In 2013 a couple of colleagues of mine from UIUC and I tested & evaluated Microsoft Lync and Outlook. We shared the results with them and wanted to engage them in similar collaboration efforts as we have with all other vendors but we were unable to do it as their NDA terms and conditions were not acceptable to the UIUC legal team. As the result, we never had the chance to discuss our findings with the respective product development teams.

The good news is that they have used our findings about Outlook and Lync to improve their accessibility in their latest versions. I don't know at this time how much of our recommendations have been utilized in the latest version but I am glad that they have at least considered them.

Last week a couple of my UW-IT colleagues and I had a productive meeting with JJ Cadiz, the head of program management for Desktop Outlook and principal owner of accessibility for all the Outlook clients and a few colleagues of his team. We discussed how we could collaborate and contribute to the accessibility of Microsoft products.

To be honest with you, I have never seen Microsoft so motivated to work with the accessibility community toward improving the accessibility of their products, and I would like to use this opportunity to establish a constructive and productive collaboration with them.

We are working to establish two parallel groups that will be working with Microsoft on accessibility of their products. This is a rare opportunity for us to get involved and shape the accessibility of the products that we all have been using in hopes of changing the culture of accessibility at Microsoft.
1. Microsoft Collaboration Group
Microsoft Collaboration Group is a long-term project to extensively improve Microsoft Office family products. Some of the products in question are Outlook client, OWA, SharePoint, Office 365, etc.


*         Purpose:

o   Establish a long-lasting, sleek, and energetic collaboration group with Microsoft.

o   Select one product at a time, identify accessibility/usability issues, and discuss the findings with the respective Microsoft development team.

*         Commitment:

o   Have knowledge and experience in accessibility and accessible design.

o   Are interested in collaborating on accessibility of MS products.

o   Can dedicate minimum of 5 hours in a month.

This collaboration involves accessibility/usability testing and evaluation and reporting on the products that we choose. We will finalize the logistics once we have the 10 members.

2. Mac Outlook Project
Mac Outlook Project is a project focusing specifically on Mac Outlook. We want five folks use it as their everyday, primary mail client. We expect to have Mac Outlook insider builds available for a long time.

*         Purpose:

o   Provide direct feedback to Mac Outlook Engineering Team about the accessibility and design of the product.

*         Commitment:

o   Be an everyday user of Mac Outlook who's living on the insider builds.

o   Provide ten to fifteen minute feedback on rare (maybe one per month) design changes.

o   Available for the occasional (once every 3 months) 1-hour call.

Time commitment would be for as long as folks are willing to participate.

If you are interested to join either of these collaboration groups, please let me know.

Thanks,
Hadi

Good morning!

[Please excuse any cross-postings]

Have any of you worked with or have EverFi training modules (https://everfi.com<https://everfi.com/>) on your campus?

We are running into accessibility issues, especially for our community members who are blind or low vision.

Any suggestions on an approach to working with this company and their tools would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Our college is interested in learning from others how they handle accessibility workflows.  Specifically, how is your college working towards total accessibility of online materials?  Below is a list of the main questions we are concerned with:

*         What outreach and/or training are you offering or requiring faculty to do?

*         Do you have a lab where you offer support for faculty wishing to make their materials accessible?

*         Do you have a timeline for accessibility (i.e. by ___date all online Word docs will be accessible, by ___date all PDFs will be accessible, etc.)

Since achieving WCAG 2.0 standards is such a big task, I'm eager to develop a systematic approach.

Are we talking about headings for text or table header rows? Headings shouldn?t be used in tables.

Karen, I was talking about table header rows.  I would never use headings in a table, that's just crazy-talk! [&#X1f60a]


I am under the impression that it can't be done with Google Docs, but if there is a way, I'd sure like to know about it.

Do you have to use a PDF? There are many on-line form solutions that make creating skip logic and accessible forms fairly easy.

I think it was removed from Acrobat Pro at version X and then became its own product.  If you?re stuck without it , then it?s worth a conversation with Adobe.

Anyone know if you can create "skip logic" in a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. I saw some references online for doing this via Adobe LifeCycle but as I understand it Lifecycle is no longer around. I see nothing in Adobe help online about this option for Acrobat DC. Ug.

Susan:

 

Whew.I know the language is confusing and sometimes I just have to make sure
of what we are talking about. LOL

 

At CSUN this year I met someone whose company is working on two products you
might be interested in: an accessibility checker for GoogleDocs and a tool
to save a GoogleDocs to tagged PDF,

 

The company is Grackle Docs and they are located here in Ontario. The
website is http://www.grackledocs.com. Paul Walker is the person I was
talking with. They may have some answers. I've also forwarded him the call
for proposals for AHG, so maybe he will present on both products.

 

I don't use GoogleDocs but after talking with Paul, am going to take a look
at them.

 

Cheers, Karen

Karen, I was talking about table header rows.  I would never use headings in
a table, that's just crazy-talk!   

 

I am under the impression that it can't be done with Google Docs, but if
there is a way, I'd sure like to know about it.

Hi Joseph,

Unfortunately, yes, for this project. Yes, doing this in html would be much
easier.

Thanks,

I see that Western Kentucky University has a VPAT repository for library resources<http://uniaccessig.org/lua/vpat-repository/>.  Is there a similar one for applications popular in higher education, like TurnItIn, DegreeWorks, etc?

If not, are there good reasons for creating one or for not creating one?

Thanks.

Howard,
For your form, what is the behavior initiated by the skip logic? The user responds to an item and then ? focus moves to a  specific location in the form or the form branches to a different page or ??  Just interested.

Anyone know if you can create "skip logic" in a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. I saw some references online for doing this via Adobe LifeCycle but as I understand it Lifecycle is no longer around. I see nothing in Adobe help online about this option for Acrobat DC. Ug.

I'm also curious about this... I've been doing some PDF testing with VoiceOver on OS X (which, admittedly, I'm still not that fluent with), and among many other things, in-document links seem to not be VO-compatible. Obviously this isn't the same as forms, but I know that when the PDF would switch to a different page, VoiceOver didn't seem to realize it had done so.

Subject: [Athen] Table headings in GoogleDocs?
Message-ID: <CALsf5z9i-4M_X4fjo8Zotza_6-2bWPcV67XJ1+5T7UHwEU4vWw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Susan!

There currently is no way to mark headings in a Google Docs table.  I was
at CSUN this year and because I found this curious, I stopped by the Google
booth to ask someone about this.

What I found out is when you make a table in Google Docs, it automatically
designates both the top row and the first column as table headings.  The
person I spoke with created a quick table and then had ChromeVox read it
and indeed, it did read the cells in the top row and the first column as
table headings.  Mileage may vary depending on various browser/assistive
technology combinations.

There is no way to alter this currently so I suggest only using tables in
Google Docs that use the the first row and the first column for table
headings or the table may not make sense to a screen reader user.

Hello,

I'm unclear about not using header in a table? In Word how else would you
set a heading row? I don't believe there is an option for Table or Row
heading as there is in PDF/ and HTML.

Currently I use a Heading level such as <H3> or <H4>

Headings are Styles used to format text in a document. They are typically H1, H2 and so forth in HTML or PDF. In Word, the styles are Heading 1, Heading 2 and so forth.

Table  "headers" identify column and row titles and are different from "headings." An example is the TH Tag in PDF documents for cells that are column and row titles/headers.

To further confuse the language, there are page "headers" in documents...as well as page footers.

I just wanted to be clear what the question about GoogleDocs was...was the person wanting to use headings in a table or identify table headers for column and row titles? In one of the replies, this wasn't clear.

Cheers, Karen

Samantha Johns is correct about headings for google docs tables.

There really aren't headers per say in these docs, but there's navigation short cuts which can be helpful. Even sheets don't have headers, just the ability to "freeze".

CTRL+space will select column and shift+space will select a row. Should help with row/column headings.

Hello,

I believe you can only mark it at a heading level using the format tool.

Message-ID: <4599527AD714FA42B45CEDFE81CA397DEA67BD49@OC11EXPO25.exchange.mit.edu>

Hi Colleagues,

One of our students is a frequent user of Central Access Reader for Mac (the older version 2.2 which is still working).  She uses it on a MacBook Air.  However, she has had times recently where CAR has frozen up and stopped running and her Mac has overheated.  She recently had the MacBook checked out by hardware services and it seems OK.  Is anyone aware of CAR being resource intensive or causing freeze ups?

Thanks
Kathy

A more coherent version of a recently-asked question (I hope it's coherent!):

What are people doing about print release stations?  Here's a typical scenario:

1.	User prints document
2.	Document is queued in print release software
3.	User goes to printer, authenticates
4.	Print job is released

I'm thinking mainly of a blind user and how they might independently and effectively execute he print process from end to end. Step 3 has us stymied at the moment.  I know that one vendor offers a prox/identity card release option, and that looks pretty good.  A couple of people have already indicated that their blind users don't like print release--has anyone done anything about it?

Hi Susan,

As others have already mentioned, Google Docs seems to only be able to have the first row and first column of a table as headers,.

The following keystrokes may help your student access the information in these headers if she/he has a table with headers in the first row or column. I find that these shortcut keys don't always work as they should, but worth a try.

Speak the table column and row header  
holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift, press T then H

Speak the table row header
holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift, press T then R

Speak the table column header
holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift, press T then C

Here is a site with a lot of keyboard shortcuts for Google Docs...

https://support.google.com/docs/answer/179738?hl=en 

Hope this helps,

Russell

I had a blind student ask about this today, and I looked and don't see anything obvious.  Is there a way to mark table headings in a Google Docs table?

Subject: [Athen] Amara captioning - how do you find captioned videos
Message-ID: <CAN57xLecVJdRQ5SAstA=Hs-1b69wc6hAsABgyM20HBtMDQRVKw@mail.gmail.com>

Is there anyway to find videos (auto-captioned on YouTube for example) that
have been captioned on Amara? I've noticed that if you log into Amara and
enter a YouTube video url that needs captioning you'll sometimes find that
video already manually captioned by someone else. Anyone know a way of
finding these captions without going through this somewhat cumbersome
process.

Thanks,
Howard

Subject: [Athen] Microsoft Accessibility Collaboration Opportunities

Hello friends & colleagues,

As you know, together we were able to improve the accessibility/usability of many products in the past 10-12 years. We collaborate successfully with many vendors for higher education including Blackboard, Desire2Learn, Moodle, Instructure, Elsevier, Ebsco Publishing, Elluminate, Qualtrics, Trumba, ServiceNow, and many more.

In 2013 a couple of colleagues of mine from UIUC and I tested & evaluated Microsoft Lync and Outlook. We shared the results with them and wanted to engage them in similar collaboration efforts as we have with all other vendors but we were unable to do it as their NDA terms and conditions were not acceptable to the UIUC legal team. As the result, we never had the chance to discuss our findings with the respective product development teams.

The good news is that they have used our findings about Outlook and Lync to improve their accessibility in their latest versions. I don't know at this time how much of our recommendations have been utilized in the latest version but I am glad that they have at least considered them.

Last week a couple of my UW-IT colleagues and I had a productive meeting with JJ Cadiz, the head of program management for Desktop Outlook and principal owner of accessibility for all the Outlook clients and a few colleagues of his team. We discussed how we could collaborate and contribute to the accessibility of Microsoft products.

To be honest with you, I have never seen Microsoft so motivated to work with the accessibility community toward improving the accessibility of their products, and I would like to use this opportunity to establish a constructive and productive collaboration with them.

We are working to establish two parallel groups that will be working with Microsoft on accessibility of their products. This is a rare opportunity for us to get involved and shape the accessibility of the products that we all have been using in hopes of changing the culture of accessibility at Microsoft.
1. Microsoft Collaboration Group
Microsoft Collaboration Group is a long-term project to extensively improve Microsoft Office family products. Some of the products in question are Outlook client, OWA, SharePoint, Office 365, etc.


*         Purpose:

o   Establish a long-lasting, sleek, and energetic collaboration group with Microsoft.

o   Select one product at a time, identify accessibility/usability issues, and discuss the findings with the respective Microsoft development team.

*         Commitment:

o   Have knowledge and experience in accessibility and accessible design.

o   Are interested in collaborating on accessibility of MS products.

o   Can dedicate minimum of 5 hours in a month.

This collaboration involves accessibility/usability testing and evaluation and reporting on the products that we choose. We will finalize the logistics once we have the 10 members.

2. Mac Outlook Project
Mac Outlook Project is a project focusing specifically on Mac Outlook. We want five folks use it as their everyday, primary mail client. We expect to have Mac Outlook insider builds available for a long time.

*         Purpose:

o   Provide direct feedback to Mac Outlook Engineering Team about the accessibility and design of the product.

*         Commitment:

o   Be an everyday user of Mac Outlook who's living on the insider builds.

o   Provide ten to fifteen minute feedback on rare (maybe one per month) design changes.

o   Available for the occasional (once every 3 months) 1-hour call.

Time commitment would be for as long as folks are willing to participate.

If you are interested to join either of these collaboration groups, please let me know.

Thanks,
Hadi

Hey all,

I have a student with some physical limitations.  She has an iPad Pro and wants to be able to dictate documents, emails, messages, etc. without having to type everything.

I know there is dictation built in, but it doesn't have enough features to be workable for her.  For example, if the iPad doesn't recognize her sentence, there is no way (that I know of) to correct without having to manually delete the existing text and trying again.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a good speech recognition app for IOS?

Thanks.

It is important to keep in my that the speech recognition on the iOS
devices relies upon a live Internet connection as the processing isn't
happening in the device, but being sent out to more powerful processors
then returned to the local device.

It is important to keep in my that the speech recognition on the iOS devices relies upon a live Internet connection as the processing isn't happening in the device, but being sent out to more powerful processors then returned to the local device.

Hi Robert,

I would have her try the Dragon Dictation app by Nuance. The app is free, and I?ve had many students have success with it.

Subject: [Athen] speech recognition on iPad Pro

Hey all,

I have a student with some physical limitations.  She has an iPad Pro and wants to be able to dictate documents, emails, messages, etc. without having to type everything.

I know there is dictation built in, but it doesn?t have enough features to be workable for her.  For example, if the iPad doesn?t recognize her sentence, there is no way (that I know of) to correct without having to manually delete the existing text and trying again.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a good speech recognition app for IOS?

Thanks.

I would love to be part of this and participate. I use both Mac and PC on a daily basis. Outlook 2013 at least 8-hours per day.
It would be great for the Mac version to be more usable and accessible.

I am a helpdesk technician so I have to support both products.

Thank you

Subject: [Athen] Microsoft Accessibility Collaboration Opportunities

Hello friends & colleagues,

As you know, together we were able to improve the accessibility/usability of many products in the past 10-12 years. We collaborate successfully with many vendors for higher education including Blackboard, Desire2Learn, Moodle, Instructure, Elsevier, Ebsco Publishing, Elluminate, Qualtrics, Trumba, ServiceNow, and many more.

In 2013 a couple of colleagues of mine from UIUC and I tested & evaluated Microsoft Lync and Outlook. We shared the results with them and wanted to engage them in similar collaboration efforts as we have with all other vendors but we were unable to do it as their NDA terms and conditions were not acceptable to the UIUC legal team. As the result, we never had the chance to discuss our findings with the respective product development teams.

The good news is that they have used our findings about Outlook and Lync to improve their accessibility in their latest versions. I don't know at this time how much of our recommendations have been utilized in the latest version but I am glad that they have at least considered them.

Last week a couple of my UW-IT colleagues and I had a productive meeting with JJ Cadiz, the head of program management for Desktop Outlook and principal owner of accessibility for all the Outlook clients and a few colleagues of his team. We discussed how we could collaborate and contribute to the accessibility of Microsoft products.

To be honest with you, I have never seen Microsoft so motivated to work with the accessibility community toward improving the accessibility of their products, and I would like to use this opportunity to establish a constructive and productive collaboration with them.

We are working to establish two parallel groups that will be working with Microsoft on accessibility of their products. This is a rare opportunity for us to get involved and shape the accessibility of the products that we all have been using in hopes of changing the culture of accessibility at Microsoft.
1. Microsoft Collaboration Group
Microsoft Collaboration Group is a long-term project to extensively improve Microsoft Office family products. Some of the products in question are Outlook client, OWA, SharePoint, Office 365, etc.


*         Purpose:

o   Establish a long-lasting, sleek, and energetic collaboration group with Microsoft.

o   Select one product at a time, identify accessibility/usability issues, and discuss the findings with the respective Microsoft development team.

*         Commitment:

o   Have knowledge and experience in accessibility and accessible design.

o   Are interested in collaborating on accessibility of MS products.

o   Can dedicate minimum of 5 hours in a month.

This collaboration involves accessibility/usability testing and evaluation and reporting on the products that we choose. We will finalize the logistics once we have the 10 members.

2. Mac Outlook Project
Mac Outlook Project is a project focusing specifically on Mac Outlook. We want five folks use it as their everyday, primary mail client. We expect to have Mac Outlook insider builds available for a long time.

*         Purpose:

o   Provide direct feedback to Mac Outlook Engineering Team about the accessibility and design of the product.

*         Commitment:

o   Be an everyday user of Mac Outlook who's living on the insider builds.

o   Provide ten to fifteen minute feedback on rare (maybe one per month) design changes.

o   Available for the occasional (once every 3 months) 1-hour call.

Time commitment would be for as long as folks are willing to participate.

If you are interested to join either of these collaboration groups, please let me know.

Thanks,
Hadi

Dear DIAGRAM Community, 


 


Registration is now open for the next DIAGRAM webinar:


 

Title: Accessible Images and Beyond: "DIAGRAM Center +"

Date: Wednesday, April 26, 2016

Time: 11:00am Pacific Time (2:00pm Eastern Time)

Presenter: Anh Bui, VP of Benetech Labs and Lead P.I. of the DIAGRAM Center

 


Register at: https://cc.readytalk.com/r/e7z50lplmwhv
<https://cc.readytalk.com/r/e7z50lplmwhv&eom> &eom


 


Description:  By now you've probably heard about Benetech's new award from
the Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs to expand
the work of the DIAGRAM Center. But may not know exactly how the new award
will affect DIAGRAM's work or DIAGRAM community members like yourself. What
does having an expanded scope and mission actually involve? How will DIAGRAM
build new tools for accessible educational materials for students with
disabilities? What's in store for the next five years?  

 

Join Anh Bui, Vice President of Benetech Labs, as she gives an encore
presentation of her 2016 CSUN conference session "Accessible Images and
Beyond: "DIAGRAM Center +". Webinar participants will learn what to expect
from DIAGRAM under the new award, exactly how DIAGRAM's scope and mission
has been expanded, and how you can benefit from the new resources and
technologies DIAGRAM will develop. Registrants will be introduced to our new
five-year initiative for Born Accessible content, our upcoming projects and
of course, all that we hope to accomplish as we enter this next phase of
DIAGRAM.

 

We hope that you will be able to join us and please share this announcement
with any of your networks that may be interested in learning more about
DIAGRAM and our new work.

Thank you for spreading the word!

Even though Dragon Dictation is still available for the iPad, please note that the app has not been updated by Nuance for over three years (Feb. 2013).

You might want to consider Nuance?s Dragon Anywhere <http://www.nuance.com/for-business/by-product/dragon/dragon-anywhere/index.htm> (for iOS and Android), which works in conjunction with certain Dragon desktop software.  It?s definitely not free (it?s a subscription service), but it includes many of the features of their desktop speech recognition such as creating text macros and custom vocabulary (both synched with the desktop versions), as well as robust formatting, editing, and document navigation by voice.

Also, unlike the Dragon Dictation app, one can see words transcribed in real time as they are spoken (no Record, then Stop to send) and there are no time limits.  Of course, you still need to be online to use it.

I?m using this with an elderly woman who has physical limitations ? it?s become her preferred speech recognition system.  (She also uses Dragon Dictate on a Mac.)

- Shelley

Hi Colleagues,
Can anyone speak on behalf of the accessibility of AWS Educate?

Thanks so much for any help.

Well, they probably aren't the best 3 questions ever asked but I wanted to be dramatic.


1.      Has anyone been able to create a PDF/UA with MathML document? http://www.aiim.org/Research-and-Publications/standards/committees/PDFUA/Technical-Implementation-Guide (7.7 Math heading)

a.      If so, would you be willing to share a copy? I wanted to test something but I haven't figure out how to create this yet.

2.      How do folks create PDF/UA if they don't use Adobe Acrobat software?

3.      I found the following text at https://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/tech/accessibility.htm: "MathPlayer 4 speaks and brailles math with NV Access' NonVisual Desktop (NVDA) in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Microsoft Word & PowerPoint, and it enables math speech in PDF with Adobe Reader." Has anyone ever had math in a PDF read aloud? Using any combo of technology? I am so curious.

I working with partners at my institution to great best practices for making math accessible in docs and web (hopefully). The plan is to post on the UW Accessibility page. I'm happy to share with the listserv the compilation of information I am getting during this quest/journey/odyssey.

I doubt that this is PDF/UA compliant, although it exists: http://river-valley.zeeba.tv/rvt_technology/pdfs/mathml.pdf

VoiceOver on iOS does not read the equation correctly, however, at least with either the default PDF viewer or Adobe Reader (although it did read the MathML on the webpage you shared). I'm going to take a look at mathplayer and Acrobat when I get back to my computer.

We have been detailing this sort of information in the Math Support Finder Beta as part of the MathML Cloud project headed up by Benetech. Reading a PDF file containing equations properly encoded with MathML is indeed possible using NVDA plus MathPlayer 4. You can find details about the testing which was done to verify this, and also download a test PDF with MathML, at this link: http://msf.mathmlcloud.org/setups/20



The Math Support Finder Beta home page is at http://msf.mathmlcloud.org/ This allows you to search for what is available for any given platform or file type. We still have a lot more testing to do, but I suspect all (or almost all) of the technologies which actually work are already populated. There are many, many, more instances of lack of math support, and many of those such instances have not been formally tested.



The big hurdle, however, is getting the MathML into a PDF in the first place, since none of the automated tools to produce PDF support this capability, and thus someone has to hand-code every single math expression.



Hope that helps!

Message-ID: <CAN57xLfb5mtWFyGuQcxiXwo+fLQE4Yws_H5=_wTieOzQNeG-Og@mail.gmail.com>

I've noticed different guidelines for line length for captions. I believe
NCAM says a maximum of 34 characters per line but the Amara tool at
amara.org suggests 42 characters per line maximum. I think the Australian
standard recommends 40 characters max. And consensus on best practices. And
some recommend adding three dots before and after lines that continue or
are continuations of a longer sentence. Is that a best practice?

Thanks in advance,
Howard

Subject: [Athen] Web Audit  scope of work
Message-ID: <47976873cb8b4e32bf74a4d0ccd0f5e1@EXCPM5702.enterpriseapps.cuny.adlan>

Hello Athenites. Has anyone had an accessibility Web Audit done? We are trying to put together a Scope of Work for such an audit and are having trouble defining limits. We have 25 Colleges and over 100 semi-independent Institutes or Centers, and there is no Central structure or web team that covers them. Each of these has their own systems for web development. Some of these independent entities have up to Twenty different web page structures or templates, developed and maintained by different people. There's no list of number of pages or templates. Due to procurement procedures, we need to give Vendors enough information so they can give us a Fixed price for the full project, and we can't ask them.

Any suggestions?

Hi Joseph,

I am assuming you are looking at an external audit for your public-facing
content and not necessarily instructional/academic content within your LMS
platforms?

Some ideas as to where to focus your efforts:

   - Use Google Analytics and determine the top pages institutionally
   - Identify key website templates
   - Identify representational content pages
   - Any interactive forms (see below)
   - Identify major dynamic content pages
   - Use of dialog modals and alerts
   - Key entry and exit pages
   - Any help and assistance pages


Also, you may want to check the following pages, specifically:

   - Course and institutional registration pages (especially interactive
   forms)
   - Counseling
   - Financial aid (especially interactive forms)
   - Health Services
   - Wi-fi sign-on access points (sometimes these are web-based)
   - Library access (and printing stations, if applicable)


While this will not guarantee every page will be reviewed, I think the
focus of an external audit should be on those pages that have a significant
impact on current and potential students as well as staff, faculty, and
members of the public. That can get the process started. At some point, you
may want to consider an automated scanning/monitoring solution to assist in
the process.

Take care,
Sean

Happy Friday colleagues ~

As Open Access/Open Educational Resources become more popular, I'm curious
what other institutions are doing to ensure the selection and creation of
OERs are accessible to our campus communities. I know some states
specifically address OERs in legislation that affects your colleges and
universities. Have you found OER repositories that house more accessible
content than others? Any information on this topic would be sincerely
appreciated!

In case you are unfamiliar with the topic, I encourage you to read

Hey all,

I'm not sure how many of you know, but Voice Dream Reader has just under gone a major rewrite.  With all of the new features, the price will be going up.  However, until April 17, the price is still $9.99, which is around 33% of the new price.  So, if you are interested in the product and have not yet purchased it, I suggest you jump on it now.  I know I like it and my students have all given me good feed back on it too.

Hello,

Subject: [Athen] JAWS reading Math equations element-by-element.
Message-ID: <CAMsVrS0qEM1TO1XwSH-TQyEOrfm54nG3a5dOO0k4i7FCt4N4HA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I have a student who is legally blind and doing  a Master Degree in Math.
We convert Math textbooks (MS word files) for the student using MathType,
and we publish to MathML "HTML +MathML +MathJax" settings. The final result
is an "htm"" file which the student opens using IE 11 with MathPlayer 4
plugin installed.

The student uses JAWS to navigate the published Math file. When running
JAWS to read all the equation (Insert Down-Arrow), it reads the equation
accurately. We had difficulty making JAWS read element-by-element of the
equation even if (Ctrl Right-arrow) were pressed. The only way to allow
JAWS read element-by-element is by clicking on the "Enter" key. This opens
an equation window. The student then clicks (Ctrl Right-arrow) keys to read
element-by-element. But when doing so, JAWS skips some important functions
such as the square root, so it doesn't say square root, but jumps to the
content of the square root. This happens especially if the equation is a
square root of a square root.

I was wondering if anybody came across such issues, and how it was solved?
How to read the equation element-by-element? What would be the best
practice when using MathType? Is there any other tool that was tested and
would work? The student is doing a Master Degree in Math, and the Math
books are full of equations. The student is having difficulties capturing
all the information when JAWS say it all at once; therefore, reading
element-by-element is the only way to understand the formulas.

Thanks,
Khaleel

Message-ID: <C1BF3DDBA47A024DAD5CAFB0A4D8D7200157599851@exmbx01>

First of all, the current version of JAWS ignores MathPlayer completely, as FS recently developed their own native math speech. A much better speech navigation experience will be obtained if you open the files you are creating within Firefox and use NVDA with MathPlayer. Actually, you don't even have to export the Word files...providing the student also has Word, MathType, NVDA and MathPlayer installed on his/her computer, then the Word documents can be read directly with full math navigation capability. If the student doesn't have MathType installed (it isn't free, but it is relatively inexpensive), then you'll have to keep exporting the docs to some type of HTML+MathML configuration. But either way, the ability to navigate element-by-element within a math expression will be much richer with Firefox+NVDA+MathPlayer. You can get IE11 to work with MathPlayer, but it requires using the Enterprise Mode, so unless there is some other compelling reason to use IE, it is usually simpler to just stick with Firefox. If one simply has to use JAWS, then you'll have to use IE and won't be able to use MathPlayer's speech navigation (unless you are using an old JAWS version, before they switched to their own math speech).



Hope that helps...

Can anyone recommend free software to create SCORM that is accessible?

We have Captivate 7, but the accessibility doesn?t seem to be working.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Maria,

Some companies or vendors sell used or demo models for cheaper (example is
http://www.eschenbach.com/products-used-video-magnifiers-.htm ).  The
other thought is to look for websites or bulletin boards of consumers who
are selling devices they no longer need.  Does the state agency for the
blind in NJ provide any assistance with obtaining assistive technologies?

Just some thoughts,

You may want to check with the Assistive Technology Centers in your area.   They may know of specialized programs that can assist with funding.  The one I worked for here in  Tennessee had funding through the Technology Act funds for identifying as well as assisting with funding.  Also, if the student qualifies as a Vocational Rehabilitation client, there may be funds through VR as well.

Hi all,

Our university is evaluating vendors for a campus-wide student
response system.  We have Turning Technologies (also our current
vendor) and iClicker as final vendors.

If you are using either, how do you your students with disabilities
find it to use? Any advice most appreciated.

Thank you.

We use Turning Tech and our SWD have been happy thus far. The company has
a response device for students with vision impairments that includes
braille buttons and vibration-based feedback. According to our rep, the
company?s mobile tool, Responseware, is supposedly being developed to meet
WCAG 2.0 AA, but we have not done full testing.

Hello!

I will be participating in a conference call tomorrow with our IT folks and
reps from Citrix regarding GoToMeeting. I know that there have been
accessibility issues in the past, but I would like to be as prepared as
possible. I've read the VPAT - for what that's worth.

If anyone can share current accessibility information with me - especially
what may NOT be included in the VPAT, I would greatly appreciate it!

Please feel free to email me off the listserv if you prefer.

SCORM is completely neutral in terms of accessibility. It's just a method
for indexing and sequencing learning content. It's essentially metadata
about content. It isn't the content itself.

What you should ask is "How can we design content within Captivate 7 that
will be accessible?" They might be exporting to Flash or to HTML 5 from the
Captivate authoring tool, so then it comes down to 1) knowing accessibility
and 2) knowing the capabilities of Captivate with respect to
accessibility.  You should ask about how to use Captivate effectively.
But all the basics apply:

   - alt text for images
   - labels for buttons
   - captions for videos
   - good color contrast
   - and so on

Subject: [Athen] AT to provide access to a one week residency program
Message-ID: <B1EE9D28CCB8074BB15C666EDF83387101872D4A5943@W-DRSHEPHERD.wcsu.local>

Hello Wise Athen-ers!

Our institution has a student with quadriplegia applying to a program that is mostly online, but has a one week residency program each semester. The student can be in his chair for a maximum of 3 hours a day due to pain management and is otherwise in his bed. The residency program starts at 9 in the AM and goes into the evening for a week.

I was thinking he could be Skyped into the programming daily so he can be present live. Currently the program coordinator is thinking of recording the days so the student can watch them after. I told the coordinator that I was concerned with the recordings as the student wouldn't be able to see them live thus making the experience quite different than that of his peers. The coordinator seems open to working on a solution and I told him I'd ask here for ideas!

Has anyone here had a similar challenge? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Skype or Google Chat seem like nice, simple solutions. Given the length of the program during the day, iPads might be good to use l, if available, because of the battery life.

An expensive but effective solution would be a telepresence robot. They used one at the AHG conference in 2015 and it worked very well.

I have worked with an adult who does all of his work from the floor, also due to pain management.  He uses a laptop and uses a variety of applications, including Skype.  If the laptop can be positioned on a bed table or close to where the student can see it, they should be able to use Skype from bed.

<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTYwNDI0LjU4MTg3NTIxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE2MDQyNC41ODE4NzUyMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MDI3OTUzJmVtYWlsaWQ9cm9uQGFoZWFkLm9yZyZ1c2VyaWQ9cm9uQGFoZWFkLm9yZyZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&100&&&http://www.ada.gov/access-technology/index.html>
for ADA.gov, its Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Web site, to further
assist covered entities and people with disabilities to understand how the
ADA applies to certain technologies, such as Web sites, electronic book
readers, online courses, and point-of-sale devices.  Covered entities have
longstanding obligations to make their programs, goods, services, and
activities accessible?including those they provide online or via other
technology.  The new Web pages compile in one place the Department?s
technical assistance and guidance about accessible technology, as well as
information about the Department?s accessible technology enforcement
efforts, regulation development, and other federal accessible technology
resources and initiatives.

I am looking for suggestions of brand/model of chairs and adjustable tables for classrooms that you have found to work particularly well for a range of students.

*         For chairs we are looking for options without casters and with/without arm rests.

*         For tables we are looking for adjustable options: 1) for tables that will remain in classrooms and 2) for tables that will be moved in and out of classrooms (e.g. smaller discussion classrooms with tablet arm chairs) as needed.

*         In both cases we are looking for models/sizes that meet the needs of most students and that work in a variety of classrooms so that we can standardize and reduce the number of different models/sizes that we need to stock.

Thanks,
Todd Schwanke

Good morning all,

Let me begin by saying that I realize that there is a lively discussion as to whether or not schools should promote PDF as a supported accessible document format.  For schools that are currently doing  so; however,  what tools beyond Acrobat Pro (now just Acrobat) are you using?

Thanks,

This is a timely question -- I have been curious about this as well, specifically around whether other tools exist that allow proper PDF tagging (excluding export from Word/LibreOffice or through OneDrive Online).

Hello my friends,

Our library is considering the purchase of a V-shaped scanner for their rare book collection and also to allow students with disabilities to be able to access some library books.  Does anyone have one that they recommend?  Does yours have an automatic page turner?  If not, is that a big issue for you?  Your assistance is deeply appreciated.

We are very interested in this as well as our company GrackleDocs has
created a PDF/UA output Solution for Google Docs called Grackle Talks and

I have spoken with other libraries who have decided that the automatic page turner is actually not a good idea for a couple of reasons:

1.       The page turner was very temperamental and required a great deal of adjusting for different paper weights and stiffness, degree of static build-up, etc.

2.       They found that the chance of damaging the books was much higher than they were comfortable with.

 

Before investing in a V-cradle scanner, you might also look at the Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600. It is a lot less expensive and does a decent job at 2-page scanning.

When it comes to guidance, I use the DCMP Captioning Key:

http://www.captioningkey.org/ 

 

http://www.captioningkey.org/text.html#3 

 

I?m not sure there is a specific guideline for characters per line since that is generally determined by the software and hardware used to show the captions. Instead, it seems that the focus is on words per minute:

?Each word is counted when calculating the presentation rate, as opposed to basing the calculation on the number of characters. In addition, speaker identification, sound effects, and other similar elements must be included in the calculations.

?All lower-level educational media should optimally be captioned at a presentation rate not to exceed 130 words per minute (wpm), middle-level not to exceed 140 wpm, and upper-level not to exceed 160 wpm. However, as stated above, the original meaning, content, and essential vocabulary must be maintained. Achieving optimum rates is more difficult when complex new concepts and vocabulary are introduced in a media production.?

 

Good luck!

Subject: [Athen] Captioning guidelines / best practices

 

I've noticed different guidelines for line length for captions. I believe NCAM says a maximum of 34 characters per line but the Amara tool at amara.org suggests 42 characters per line maximum. I think the Australian standard recommends 40 characters max. And consensus on best practices. And some recommend adding three dots before and after lines that continue or are continuations of a longer sentence. Is that a best practice?

 

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

Greetings from the Accessibility Engineering Team here at Google!  As part of our efforts to make Google products more accessible, we conduct paid research sessions with users with all types of disabilities.  We conduct studies both in-person at our offices in SF and NYC, as well as remotely via video or phone.  Users who are selected for and complete our study sessions are generally compensated at $125 an hour, paid out in gift cards that are redeemable at a wide variety of retailers around the country.

If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in signing up for a study and testing our products, please visit this link <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zKw9fqFKx7FgOaOA-GP5m-6LvGM_HDkBH36FpbFExt8/viewform?entry.1840504930&entry.767183713&entry.56281283&entry.2035380197&entry.1567833329&entry.1093159374&entry.1787236126=CSUN2016> .  Anyone who signs up at this site will be notified of upcoming research studies that are a match for his or her unique user profile.  The link above is shareable, so please feel free to forward this email along to anyone with a disability who you feel may be interested!

 Don't have a disability, but still interested in testing Google products?  Please sign up here <http://www.google.com/usability/> .

If you are not interested in receiving future notifications for our studies, please let me know directly.  You may contact me at ahertell@google.com with any questions or concerns regarding our user research program. Additional information on our current projects involving accessibility may be found at google.com/accessibility.

Message-ID: <D34793BA.3C545%kcahill@mit.edu>

Hi Colleagues,

We recently had a discussion with our Telecommunications staff who were trying to track down the former sites of all TTY devices that were on campus.  A lot of them have been disconnected and or gotten rid of since they are an older technology.  However, I would like to ask how your university is handling this issue.  Do you have any TTYs on campus?  Are they advertised on the university contact page?  I know that Video Relay is much more in use as well as email by deaf/HOH users but I would like to know if there are any good reasons to retain TTYs, perhaps for consumers who have older technologies they still use for communication.

Thanks

Hi, Kathy.  We still maintain TTY/TDD lines and devices, even though we are moving to an otherwise VOIP communications network. Just as you say, it's important to provide communications options for consumers who may still be using older technology, and since a significant percentage of our consumer base is rural, many don't have the option of high-speed internet that's required for Video Relay.  TTY/TDD numbers are advertised by departments that still maintain them as part of their general contact information (along with physical and email addresses, and voice and fax line numbers). We don't get very many calls on those lines these days, but we still feel it's important to offer the option.

Hope this helps,
Teresa

An advantage to keeping the TTY is that they utilize phone lines
(landlines) and do not require an internet connection or a cell phone
signal.  In an emergency situation, the TTY may be the only way a person
who is deaf or hard of hearing can communicate because cell phones might
not be working or there might not be electricity or internet access.  So,
if you have a TTY, it can be very helpful to keep it.

Our campus police department was required to keep theirs to pass the
accreditation they go through.  If we had a specific request we would
provide them but we haven't had any requests for having a TTY device
in the past 8 years.  the only request we have had since we stopped
making TTY available is for video phones which we do have.

I do know that some older folks (60 +) in the Deaf/HH community still use them. Many of us (younger than 60) are into text, IM, email, and video relay. I personally stopped using the TTY since 2003 or 2004. 

I agree with everyone on the listserv to keep this option open for those living in the rural area or still using the older technologies.

Hi, all-

For those of you with affiliated hospitals and medical centers-are any of you using the API Healthcare applications (especially Time and Attendance)?  We met with a staff member at our university yesterday to look at the application, and found some challenges.

Besides identifying our fellow customers, we'd like to know:


1.       Have you done any accessibility assessment and/or found any problems/solutions?

2.       Do you have an accessibility contact within the company?

Many thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Hi Jennifer,

The National Center for Accessible Media offers both free guidelines and customized training (for a fee) on describing math and science images.

Our research-based guidelines are here:
http://ncam.wgbh.org/experience_learn/educational_media/stemdx

Some additional research on description in assessments, which need a slightly different approach, is here:
http://ncam.wgbh.org/experience_learn/educational_media/describing-images-for-enhanced
and
http://ncam.wgbh.org/experience_learn/educational_media/accessible-assessments/item-writer-guidelines

If you are interested in more information about training, feel free to write to me and I'll put you in touch with Donna Danielewski, director of NCAM.

-Madeleine

Well, I would not normally "advertise" on this list...but since you asked, here goes. Over the years I have provides similar trainings for places like Berea College, the University of Georgia, the Greater Cincinnati Consortium of Colleges and Universities, the University of Louisville, and the Miami Accessible Media Project, as well as sessions on this topic at places like the national AHEAD and KY-AHEAD conferences. So, anyone is welcome to contact me if there is such a need.
