Our provost had decided that the responsibility lies with the colleges and departments -- she provides overall funds, and the colleges decide the details of priorities and budget. Some departments choose to use a vendor, some choose to hire students to caption themselves. Central IT provides instructions for these self-service captioning effort. Central IT is also providing preliminary scans of large enrolment courses and identifying specific courses on the academic path of students who have reported needing accommodation, and alerts the faculty to seek help.<br>
<br>
Central IT will do immediate remediation in respond to an urgent accommodation request, and then bill the department back on the captioning cost incurred. Sticker shock usually ensues.<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
One of our disability specialists has the following question:<br>
<br>
Is there a good recommended voice amplification device for a professor who<br>
cannot speak very loudly? Classroom does not have AV equipment, and<br>
moreover, person needs a mobile device to use in office for office hours,<br>
in every day conversations in hallways and campus settings, etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

Check out the Caliphone Voice Saver portable PA system. We had a student who needed such support and went with this type of system. We did not get the Bluetooth model as that was not out at the time, but overall, the amplification seemed good for small group interactions. Because it is Bluetooth, you may be able to connect other microphones to it such that it is more discrete - the mic that ships with the product appears rather large.<br>

I'd seen people suggest Chattervox on another list but the reviews weren't<br>
so good.<br>
<br>
A challenge for any gear would be feedback [sound emitted from the speaker<br>
feeding into the vocal mic...back into the system...repeat until is<br>
squeals].<br>
<br>
This other one also got mixed reviews:<br>
<br>

<br>
This might be more robust but also heavier:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.schooloutfitters.com/catalog/product_info/pfam_id/PFAM21302/products_id/PRO38014" target="_blank">https://www.schooloutfitters.com/catalog/product_info/pfam_id/PFAM21302/products_id/PRO38014</a><br>
<br>
Smaller speaker and you'll have less bass/more distortion when turned up.<br>
<br>
Better to have some way of adjusting EQ on whatever is used to be able to<br>
turn down the lower end bass range so you'll increase clarity and reduce<br>
proximity effect.<br>
