[nabs-l] ADA and SayText app questions

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hello Helga, 
If you mean ADA as in the Americans with Disabilities Act, every person with a qualifying disability automatically is covered under its protection. As far as SayText goes, I have never found that app to work well and, as such, do not use it. Can you ask your instructor to send you an electronic copy of the assignment? Your phone's camera generally doesn't have the capability to take a good enough picture to read text.

Regarding the ADA, do I as a blind student, do I’m automatically a member of  it, or do I need to apply for it? I’m just wondering. Also, regarding the SayText app, I’m trying to take a picture of a paper by using the camera on it, but for some reason is not working so well with me.  Do any of you here use the SayText app? And if you do, could you tell me how do I use it in order to take a picture with it? I’m not really so sure if I’m doing it right, since I’m totally blind, and I don’t see where I’m putting the camera! LOL! Just to let you know, whenever I’m on the app, I always double tap on take picture, and after I do that, I double tap on camera, and then the camera sound goes off, but when I want to read the text of the paper I took a picture off on my iPhone, my iPhone is not reading it at all! I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I will really appreciate it if you could help me with this, since I want to read this paper, since it is an assignment with instructions that I need to follow in order to write an essay for. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you so much and God bless!!
