[il-talk] need help finding technology

[Andrew Webb]

Do you have a case open with the Bureau of Blind services? If so, I would
certainly expect that your vocational rehabilitation counselor would arrange
for your to be provided with a scanner and some sort of OCR software to use
with it. Those are pretty fundamental pieces for scholastic success, and you
shouldn't have to pay for them out of pocket.

Also, have you communicated with the office for disability services at the
college you'll be attending? They should be ready to discuss with you (among
other things) arranging for electronic copies of your textbooks so that you
don't have to scan everything manually.

Hi, guys. This is Kayla James and I need help. I am trying to find a
piece of technology for college. I have a new laptop, but I'm thinking
of getting a scanner to read printed material, like textbooks. Also,
any other college adaptive product suggestions would be appreciated.
I have $500 from Delta Gamma sorority. Can anyone help?
