Thanks Tristen. I totally forgot that OpenBook had that feature.
Looks like we've got a few options.
Take care,
Russell

Hi Russell,
You can also use OpenBook 9.0 for converting text to mp3 files. Simply import or scan your document into OpenBook, then select the Save to mp3 option in the File menu.
Hope that helps.

Hi everyone,
We need to convert a textbook to an MP3 format for a student. We haven't done this in quite a few years. In the past we used TextAloud with good results, but that was a long time ago.
Is TextAloud still the best tool for converting a Word document to MP3 format? How does NaturalReader compare with TextAloud in this regard? Any other programs that work better?
Thanks for any ideas and advice.
Best regards,
Russell

Hi Adina,
I've recently been working with a Graduate student on Nvivo. She's relying heavily on shortcut options listed at http://help-nv11.qsrinternational.com/desktop/procedures/keyboard_shortcuts.
htm.
I worked with her as someone who could help explain accessible ways to navigate while one of her college peers/supervisors helped us know which features she needed to access. There were a few items that weren't reading correctly but we were able to figure out alternative ways to access/input info. Like all programs, it's not fully accessible, but it was more accessible than I was expecting based on the interface I saw. She's just beginning to use the program so my experience is based on a very small portion of what I expect this application can do.

Subject: [EXT][Athen] Qualitative research software
External Email
Hi everyone,
I?m wondering if anyone has info about accessibility of any qualitative research software?
The names of the products I looked for are:
* Atlas.ti- has a VPAT from 2013 posted on its site. (Not too
promising)
* NVivo- I found this VPAT with no
date<https://www.csulb.edu/sites/default/files/groups/academic-technology-se
rvices/nvivo_vpat.pdf> that I could find on CSU?s site. It says NVivo ?uses 3rd party software? that didn?t/doesn?t work with screen readers. It doesn?t say which features don?t work. NVivo?s site says it works with JAWS<https://help-nv.qsrinternational.com/12/win/v12.1.98-d3ea61/Content/abo
ut-nvivo/accessibility.htm#UseascreenreaderwithNVivo> here. Dept of Veterans Affairs found it was ?not conformant? with Section 508<https://www.oit.va.gov/Services/TRM/ToolPage.aspx?tid=6085> in June 2020.
* ?MAXQDA? ?VPAT? -didn?t find any relevant results on Google and I
didn?t find any accessibility info on its site
* "Dedoose" "vpat" -didn?t find any relevant results on Google and I
didn?t find any accessibility info on its site
* "Provalis research text analytics software" "vpat" -didn?t find any
relevant results on Google and I didn?t find any accessibility info on its site
Names of some others I didn?t look up are
* Raven?s Eye
* Quirkos
I would consider other qualitative research software if I find any that?s screen reader accessible. I?m sighted and this is planning ahead for a project where I might be working with colleague(s) who are blind or have other disabilities.
Thank you for any ideas!
