[Athen] [EXT] Using Respondus Lockdown Browser

[Grady, Kathleen H]

The password doesn’t make a difference in regard to the use of a screen reader. It just provides the professor the ability to make a copy of a respondus exam available in a format that is screen reader friendly but is protected from the student accessing it until the are in our testing center.
Best,
Kathleen

Interesting, I wonder what difference having the password makes.  Does this enable the unrestricted mode?  I've been advised in the past that using unrestricted mode permits AT software to work, but I'm pleased that this actually is not necessary; by disabling the dictation box in Dragon, it can work during a standard exam. No adjustments are required for NVDA.  I will report back on my findings with JAWS once I get around to testing it.

Have the professor provide a password protected copy of the exam in the student’s blackboard and then Natural Reader (or other screen readers) will work.

I used NVDA.  This is also the screen reader recommended by Respondus; although, I do recognize that many others will want to use JAWS.  I will test this at some point also.

Hello,

This topic has come up several times in the past.  I've recently had a chance to play with Respondus with a couple different pieces of AT and wanted to report my findings.  I have been told in the past that Dragon NaturallySpeaking does not work with Respondus, but I discovered that if you disable the dictation box, it actually does!  If you go into the "Misc" tab of Dragon options and uncheck the box that says "Use dictation box for unsupported applications," it works.  Since Respondus is not considered a supported application, the dictation box attempts to pop up and is blocked by Respondus.  If you disable the dictation box, Dragon sees the edit boxes on the exam and fills them when you speak.

Also, Respondus worked with my screen reader without any issues.  I've read, too, that Texthelp Read and Write works with Respondus, going into a minimal mode so that only certain features are accessible during a test.

Here is where I found this information:
