[blindLaw] Reading jaws out loud in school library

[looking_4truth at yahoo.com]

My current school, (Missouri State University), has a disability office for
students such as ourselves that helps to ensure accommodations are made as
needed. The office has a dedicated study room with computers that have
adaptive software for use similar to those available in the computer labs,
just with Zoomtext & Jaws. I use this same room with my laptop allowing me
to not have to wear my headphones while I work/study. I encourage you to
speak with your school's disability office to ask about study space
available. If they do not already have a dedicated space, they may be able
to have one created. If the study room is in use by another student I will
try to get one of my libraries group study rooms that I can close the door
on so that I can work without having to put on my headphones/earbuds. I
personally get annoyed with having to wear my earbuds in class while I take
notes during lectures so, I am grateful that I have space at the disability
office and in the library that can be used.

You should find headphones or earpods you like. Try bone conduction if you
don't want traditional headphones. 

Thank you for making a difference.

Nope. I'm blind and I'd be annoyed by it personally so always use ear buds
or headphones.

Hi all


In your school libraries have you guys  used jaws or any text to speech
program for that matter out loud? If not the library, then any public space
in the school dedicated to learning.


Is it allowed to use jaws outloud or even low enough to be a big bother to
others while loud enough to to avoid using headphones. Not a headphones fan


Best,
