[nabs-l] ADA and SayText app questions

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi Helga,

I too have not had very good luck with that app, or other OCR apps
from the App Store.  I would suggest asking your professor to send you
an electronic copy, or taking it to your disability services office so
the staff there can make the sheet accessible to you.

Hope this helps.
