While Google Voice typing, built in dictation on the Windows OS and Apple devices offer text input, the tools needed for correction, editing, saving and updating voice profiles and vocabulary --essential tools for college level work-- are absent outside of Dragon NS. If the student is already trained and comfortable with Dragon, let's put some working folks' heads together on how to build in some "how to" steps for using DNS with Canvas (and other LMS systems). </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I'm happy to be part of the solution.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">In re Vicki's comment about the DNS workbook not being tagged, I did know this and provide the link anyway because the material is very useful for any number of users. When I use the workbook for training or conference presentations, I excerpt the exercises I want to use and adapt. I have run the workbook through alt-text conversion and use my own copy to work from. I think it is still highly unusual to find vendors who are voluntarily proactive on providing accessible (alt-text, tagged) documentation to the public. I would be (pleasantly) surprised to see this but am not counting on it. We could always ask Nuance as we could ask any publisher to provide a tagged PDF of their documents & printed materials. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Wink</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Wink Harner<br></div>Accessibility Consultant/Alternative Text Production<br></div>The Foreign Type<br><br></div></div>Portland OR<br><a href="mailto:foreigntype@gmail.com" target="_blank">foreigntype@gmail.com</a><br>480-984-0034<br><br></div><div>This email was dictated using Dragon NaturallySpeaking.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Lori,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps you could clarify a bit… is it voice input or voice navigation that is being sought?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Much of how accessible the Canvas platform is depends on the implementation by your university. I was able to input voice text when working in Canvas a couple years ago, but did not attempt navigating. I would have tried using mousegrid
to do so.<u></u><u></u></p>
