[humanser] Pearl camera

[Lisa Irving]

Hello Dr. Duff, 

 

I'm not sure if you are a screen reader user. Either way I'll do my best to
answer your question. Many blind individuals accomplish work-related tasks
via screen reading software. Two of the screen reading software programs are
Window Eyes and JAWS. Essentially the purpose of this software is to enable
me to do everything that my sighted peers can do. 

 

There's another device called the Pearl camera. I am in the process of
obtaining this equipment. It is my understanding that the camera rapidly
scans and saves print information into a third computer software program
called Open Book. I am confident that you will hear from individuals on the
list who use the Pearl camera. 

 

Have a great day,

Lisa Irving

Hello,



Most of you have heard about my concerns and some of my frustrations about
obtaining training and conference materials in accessible digital content. I
want to share some good news in this area of my life. Essentially, I spoke
to a very empathetic woman this morning. She's in charge of a local day-long
mental health conference. We I'll work together after the conference to find
ways to make the information accessible. I am getting a Pearl camera and
it's my understanding that I will be able to take charge in this
overwhelming, non-stop and very frustrating area of my life. I know the
Pearl camera is not the end-all but, it's another option for self-reliance
and self-empowerment. 



From,

Lisa Irving
