As a screen reader user, I'm noticing more and more of these online discussion tools are being used for real-time communication when workers remotely collaborate. I'm on several committees that like, during their meetings to use Discord, FlipGrid, Padlet, yammer, Slack ... here's an overview: Online Discussion Tools - Center for Teaching and Learning (wustl.edu) And though it's a great way for everyone to post ideas together, it's a nightmare for me. I can either listen to the discussion or listen to my synthesizer attempting to catch up with what everyone is typing. I do have a Braille display, but it only shows 20 characters, so it's not a lot of help. Some displays show 40 or 80, but it's still like reading the screen through a soda straw. The issue is similar for people who depend on magnification. In meetings, committees also use zoom chat a lot for real-time collaboration. Though so far I've been able to read everything posted in either of these spaces, I find the multitasking stressful. I don't want to tell people it's inaccessible exactly, because that's untrue. I can read everything and I don't want my committees to feel they have to completely change what they do to accommodate me. but I do wish there was one discussion platform that would easily read what's relevant to the current discussion vs what's not. And of course that's impossible. What's more possible is finding a platform that at least would let me rapidly read the first sentence of each post in reverse chronological order, most recent to least recent. Then a way to single keystroke jump to the edit field where my response is expected. So if someone says "How would you expand on Katie's idea" or "Post your three favorite ideas from the Padlet discussion in to the chat" or "I want everyone to contribute to the question I just posed" I could more efficiently keep up. And if I, an experience screen reader user am struggling, what about these discussion tools in classrooms? How can we keep print-impaired folks from feeling left out when the collaboration is synchronous? I can see using some combination of screen reader quick key navigation and with JAWS its ability to summarize a document; I'll play around with that a bit. But usually I don't have time to set up summary rules for JAWS or figure out which quick keys will rapidly move me to where I need to be on these pages. Often the link to these things is posted in a zoom chat, and it takes me forever to even find it among all the chatter and get a press of Enter to actually activate that link. Maybe someone could set up a screen reader practice board on these platforms, post a public link and let it be a place for screen reader users to actually post tips (as they explore and play around with it) on how to use that platform. It would also be great to hear how people who use other tools, K300, Natural Reader, etc. have successfully worked with these boards. Any tips or thoughts would be appreciated. --Debee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The student had already used the free and paid version as well as other services comparable to AIRA on their own. We went with AIRA after a representative assured us their agents were trained to follow HIPAA-level privacy. We also purchased a cell phone stand for the Observation booth and a cell phone lanyard for the playground to allow for the student to use their Braille notetaker during observations. According to the student, the service worked well for one session before the stay-home mandate was issued. Coincidentally, I also recall there being a slight disagreement in what we thought we had purchased and what we were invoiced, but we also chalked it up to miscommunication after we were issued a refund by customer service.

The students in the class were minors, which was another area of concern on top of those already mentioned below. We were told that all of their agents are screened are trained to follow HIPAA-level privacy at all times. The student had nothing but praise for the service. I recall there being a slight disagreement in what we thought we had purchased and what we were invoiced, but I do not believe it was very major (and very well could have been a miscommunication on either side).

Has any eye gaze technology been paired with Dragon Naturally Speaking so a student could use both voice and eye gaze? Does the eye gaze technology cause eye strain, or no more than would looking at a computer screen without using it? Thank you!

In this spirit, I had an interesting conversation this morning with an Austrian company that creates plain language as a service for businesses in the German-speaking world, both through human workers and AI. They are working toward a more AI-driven solution, although acknowledge that human brains will still be needed to fine-tune their product. They are looking to branch into the US market with an English-language solution. The company is Capito (https://www.capito.eu/) and what they offer seems to me like something we're missing in the US. Take a look at their website (turn on your English translator) and let me know if there is already something like this in the English-speaking world. If not, does it seem like something we need? If yes, what businesses could be partners? They use a business model that has moved beyond the disability niche some time ago, so are looking for corporate partners. Of course, this would also very much benefit some people with disabilities, and probably English language learners. And it would be very relevant to accommodations in higher ed, especially for college experience/TPSID type programs. Thoughts? Ideas? Reactions? (positive or negative!)

Eye Tracking can be used with Dragon, however, drawing can be highly inaccurate and difficult, especially if you?re using it to draw intricate lines, curves, circles, etc. You can use eye tracking with drawing software such as paint that have ?stencilized? or pre-programmed shapes that would assist with drawing. I recommend looking into Tobii Tech for their external eye tracker that can be used with Windows Laptops (newer). Eye strain?the more you use it, the better you can understand when to pause and rest etc. At first the user will likely feel as if they have to always stare at the computer screen. It definitely takes months of getting used to. Reach out if you have any questions ?
