[blindLaw] Reading text aloud verbatim while listening to JAWS

[Paul Harpur]

I also take 2 laptops if I am presenting.  I mostly lecture so I have power points on one and notes on the other.  I have had one fail and I can restart it while using the other.  
Overkill is better than being dead on your feet.

Good evening Dr. Harpur:

Thanks for sharing your approach.  The approach you have outlined seems particularly well suited to giving presentations using a 40-cell braille display. I am partial to using an outline method reinforced with a complete text if a speech or reference notes when I was presenting an oral argument. However,  technology can and does fail.  Knowing your material, practice and having a backup are indispensable.

Luis

I am not sure I do it fantastically, but what I do is have a bite size amount of text on each line.  I then arrow down each line as the line above is finishing.  I have my screen reader speaking at slightly faster than I am.  
Here is part of a speech I gave recently at the a ILO workshop.  

We are up here on a small platform but we have a big message Thank you Frances Today I want to focus my paper on Workers with Disabilities Working in the Global Gig Economy
This project forms 	part of a wider collaborative work between myself and Professor Peter Blanck   Professor Blanck chairs  the Burton Blatt Institute  Syracuse Universitywhere I am also an international distinguished fellow 
I am going to start my presentation by analysing how technology and universal design 
is enabling workers with disabilities to participate in the global gig economy   
Second
I will show how this new market is creating new policy and regulatory opportunities to enable persons with disabilities to become workers with disabilities we have heard in other sessions how technology can be used as an enabler Universal Design can guide the design of environments processes policies technologies and tools 
to facilitate the inclusion of all people in society   
Universal design however can do more than this   
Universal design can create new work opportunities Universal design can Create new opportunities  for economic advancement Universal design can provide people with disabilities who have been denied their right to work access to work it can make persons with disabilities into workers with disabilities

Hi, all,

Are any of you here able to do this in a natural-sounding and seamless way? If so, how? One solution is Braille. However, I started learning Braille as an adult a couple of years ago and still have a long way to go to get to a point where I might be able to deploy it in this context. So I’d really like to learn how to do this with JAWS on a war footing.

Most blind people I know cannot do this. But some can which suggests to me that it is a learnable skill.

Best,
Rahul
