Subject: [nabs-l] Questions about Open Palm and Pencil Grips
Message-ID: <CAPjC5nH9XtC=WZ1hxJh0jzH-z9pg5SXfe+k3rhNLXbiEPiCUUw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone, my name is Connor, and I am new to the list serve.

Although I am expecting to go to a training center this summer, I am
trying to get a jump on a couple of the fundamental cane techniques,
and I have two questions: one on open palm and the other on the pencil
grip.
First, when using open palm, where should your thumb be placed and how
should it, if at all, be used to propel the cane across your body when
moving from the closed to the open position?

Second, I am having trouble holding my cane centered and arking it to
just beyond shoulder length when using the pencil grip. My wrist is
having trouble accommodating that range of motion. Any suggestions?

Thank you all very much!

Connor

Subject: [nabs-l] MLA style and creating headers
Message-ID: <313F6ACED529432CA16BA62824419DDA@OwnerPC>

Hi all,

For an MLA paper, I was wondering about some formatting. How do you know what margins you have? MLA says 1 inch needed all around. Do you italicize titles of books or other written works in the essay?
Also, how do you insert a running header on the right hand side of the page? I use Microsoft word 2013 and Jaws.

I know header is under the insert tab. From there, what is best to do? If I select blank header, will I be able to type in my last name and number 1 and then the pc knows to number my pages? As you know the header has your last name and numbered pages.

Thanks.

Ashley

Hi Ashley,

I'm not sure about the best way to insert headers, but I do know that titles of books, movies, plays, and other long works are italicized, while shorter works like individual poems, short stories, or articles are put in double quotation marks.

Hope that helps some,
Emmie

Welcome to the list, I hope you find it a valuable place for information! In both circumstances, I am using my wrist a lot taken show my cane, but that could be just me. This  will help me be able to move it side to side.   

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Federation Family:

 

It's that time again-time to make new friends, strengthen existing
relationships, learn about the latest in the field of blindness, and-most
importantly-get energized and empowered to carry on the work of our
Federation so that the dreams of all blind people can be transformed into
reality. It's time for the 51st annual convention of the National Federation
of the Blind of Maryland, which will kick off a week from tomorrow at the
Sheraton Baltimore North Hotel in Towson! If you are a blind student, a
parent of a blind student, or someone who is interested in learning how
students can achieve success in all aspects of life, I am once again excited
to announce that the Maryland Association of Blind Students has something
for you!

 

We cordially invite you to join us on Friday, November 10 from 3:30-6:30 PM
in the Grayson Room for our annual seminar and business meeting. This year
we have put together a program of fun and dynamic speakers who will inform
us about the wealth of resources available to Maryland's blind students,
give us helpful tips on how to succeed in school and life, and share with us
their inspiring stories. As always, we will have the opportunity to learn
about what MDABS has been up to in the past year and choose who some of our
leaders will be for the next two years. Oh yes, and lest we forget, we'll
have pizza! Please see the agenda which is attached and pasted below this
email for a complete listing of our program items. We also have plans for
some other events throughout the weekend as well as a really cool raffle,
but you'll have to come to the meeting to learn more!

 

Once again, we're offering you a chance to preregister for the meeting so
you don't have to worry about waiting in that long line at the door. All you
have to do is fill out the form found here:

Message-ID: <CAB4OJj7h-8mbQRMT9ynkp8oChYBSk8U+7P=je8SWAGjT83FO7w@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Nabs,
 I was wondering if anyone who has used TurnItIn for submitting papers
 in college has experienced any accessibility issues either using JAWS
 or NVDA? I work at Towson University as a digital accessibility
 consultant where I test numerous technology related products and
 services that my university wants to use campus wide. I test their
 products using JAWS and NVDA in my test analysis. Professors on campus
 have been complaining about the reliability of Safe Assign which is
 used a lot on my campus. My college is thinking about switching over
 from  Safe Assign to Turn it In completely but they want me to test
 for accessibility before making the switch. Any feedback on
 accessibility of Safe Assign or TurnItIn before I go through the
process of testing the applications myself would be greatly
appreciated.
 Sincerely,
 Nathan Clark

TurnitIn doesn’t have any accessibility issues as far as I know, I have yet to try it with NVDA or JAWS, I’m a voiceover user. The interface itself is easy to learn, and very intuitive, so anyone who knows the basics of navigating the internet using a screenreader should be able to use it.

hello all,

well, I posted this question a few months ago to the perform-talk list
and, I got no response to this question so, i'm also posting it to
this list again and, also to the nabs-l list too!

so, here's my question which I will post again... a few months ago I
was traveling with my parents in their rental car and, they had I
heart radio playing in their rental car. I had heard it from some of
you on these lists but, I unfortunately don't have iPhone since
besides my blindness I have  rare syndrome which makes me unable to
use a iPhone. so, here's my question for those of you out there in
radio land... is i heart radio accessible to use on the web and is it
free? or do i have to purchase it in the iTunes store which i do use
for listening to my music on my laptop? if it's free what is the web
site for it? i was just curious that's all and, would like some
feednback before i sign up for it!

thanks again all for your help and, hopefully someone can help me out
on signing up for this service.




hugs,
amy

Hello Amy,

iHeart Radio is definitely accessible. I use it's app on my Android phone.
You can just go to www.iheart.com and log in with either google or FB and
listen or choose your favorite radio station(s).

www.iheart.com/apps/ is where you will find the mobile app choices for
iPhone or google Play.


Hope that helps answer your question

Good evening Amy, first of all, I heart radio is via their website is a little bit difficult. I know this, because I've tried it first hand experience. Honestly, if you know of a station that you want to listen to, and you want to listen to it online. I would simply just go to their website. For instance if I wanted to listen to case 101 out of Austin Texas, which is a I heart radio station. I would typing they're call letters which are KA SE. That would pull up the radio station. Then I would go and click their listen live link. This is the only way that you can do it without having an eye heart radio account.

Good evening Amy, first of all, I heart radio is via their website is a little bit difficult. I know this, because I've tried it first hand experience. Honestly, if you know of a station that you want to listen to, and you want to listen to it online. I would simply just go to their website. For instance if I wanted to listen to case 101 out of Austin Texas, which is a I heart radio station. I would typing they're call letters which are KA SE. That would pull up the radio station. Then I would go and click their listen live link. This is the only way that you can do it without having an eye heart radio account.

besides my blindness I have  rare syndrome which makes me unable to

radio land... is i heart radio accessible to use on the web and is it
free? or do i have to purchase it in the iTunes store which i do use
for listening to my music on my laptop? if it's free what is the web
site for it? i was just curious that's all and, would like some
feednback before i sign up for it!

thanks again all for your help and, hopefully someone can help me out
on signing up for this service.

Hi fellow students,
I have been finding myself getting increasingly frustrated as I try to
progress through school and am required to find research articles that
are accessible with Jaws and that are relevant to my assignment
topics. How does everyone deal with this? For example, when I am able
to find an article that could be helpful with support from a sighted
individual who can sskim the articles, they are not always readable.
One opened and all it says is blank. This makes doing work even more
anxiety provoking and time-consuming than it would be without all of
these hurdles.
I am feeling frustrated and wondering how everyone finds useful articles.
Thanks,
Amanda

Hi Amanda,
I have been able to access most of articles I needed on GOogle Scholar
throughout my undergraduate career.
Some pdfs were accessible enough for me to open it on the Adobe
Acrobat reader and read it with JAWS or transfer them to my
BrailleNote Apex and read the text.
If the article was not as accessible, I used either KNFB Reader to
scan the article or asked my university's Center for Accessible
Education to make the articles accessible.
Whether I used KNFB Reader or asked my university depended on how much
time I had in  my hand and how critical it was for me to access
certain elements of the articles.
For instance, if I needed to access a chart or graph that was a part
of a scientific research paper, I asked my university to make them
accessible for me or had a reader to describe those elements to me.
Best,
Miso

Amanda,


I've had great success with google scholar myself.

I find a lot of pdf files are a pain to work with, but google has served 
me well. Some databases work too, but it depends what area you are 
looking for things in.

If you share more details I may be able to offer more specific advice.

Message-ID: <31667EFF-FCAC-43AE-ADC0-6C3144D11703@gmail.com>

Hi All,
I am having problems selecting text on the iphone 6. I use my braillenote Apex as a keyboard. The command to select text is dots 2356 space. While I am still able to use this command, it takes multiple attempts for the select all to work. I was wondering if there is a way which  I could select text manually, without the keyboard, or if there is a menu I can get into to select text.
Thanks,
Vejas

Vejas:

You can add "text selection" to your rotor in VoiceOver settings. Then rotor
to text selection using either the roter gesture (if you are just using your
phone) or space with 2 and 3 or 5 and 6 (if using a Braille display.)
Flicking right or pressing space+dot 4 will select text, and flicking left
or right or pressing space with dot 3 or dot 6 will change the amount of
text being selected--select by character, select by word, select by line,
etc.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Hi Amanda,
I've used JStor quite effectively. You'll have to get access through your
school's library website (it requires subscriptions) but they're pdf's are
text ones which is great. As for finding relevant sources, I think this just
takes practice. Meeting one-on-one with a librarian (this was available to
all students at my school), was a huge help. Either they'll find you good
articles or they'll help you decide the best keywords to use or the best
databases.

I know this isn't for articles, but I've found Bookshare a pleasant surprise
in the number of things it has that I can use for academic purposes. I've
only been a member for a couple of years, but it's amazing!

I use QRead, as it is a nice way to show tables of contents (when they
exist) and/or give page numbers (when they exist).

I hope this helps,
Sarah

You definitely need a strategy for accessing inaccessible PDFs. What version
of JAWS are you using? For several years now JAWS has had built-in
"Convenient OCR." This lets you run OCR on a PDF rather quickly and puts the
results in a virtual viewer which you can read and/or copy and paste. There
is a detailed JAWS help file on the subject. It is quick and fairly accurate
to use. It does have a tendency to put info in nested tables, which can be
annoying when you copy and paste into a word document, but for accessing
info, it is great. 

Another free option I recommend is robobraille:
https://www.robobraille.org/.

You can upload lots of different inaccessible file types, including pdfs,
and you will be emailed an accessible version in the format of your choice. 

These two solutions should cover you for the most part, but you could also
look into getting OCR software and converting the document yourself. There
are lots of options in this category, including KNFB Reader, Openbook, Text
Cloner Pro, Abbyy Fine Reader, etc. all with their pros and cons. 

In my opinion, having access to a quick OCR solution is a requirement for
completing research at the college level. With the exception of charts and
graphs, these solutions should allow you to access the text of most articles
you come across. 

Please let me know if you have any questions. I would be happy to elaborate.

Best,
Greg

I apologize if others have answered this thread already but I’m just seeing it now and wanted to weigh in.

 

You should insert the page numbers first before typing in the header because inserting page numbers clears out the header. Just typing a number 1 will not tell Word to automatically number pages, at least not as far as I know. From the Insert tab of the ribbon, choose page numbers, then choose top or bottom of page. The first three options are left, center, and right aligned. Word calls them something like Plain 1, 2, and 3. Not very descriptive. 

 

Word inserts a blank header and footer along with the page numbers so you can then edit the header by adding your last name. Make sure it is right aligned with Control +R. You should also make sure the font in the header matches the rest of your document. This includes the font for your page numbers. 

 

If you need a different first page, which many writing styles do, you get a special Design tab on the ribbon when you are working in headers and footers. Press Alt and it should be the active ribbon. If not, right arrow until you hear “Header and Footer Tools, Design Tab.” There is a check box on this tab for different first page and lots of other fancy options. 

 

I hope this helps.

 

Best,

Greg

For margins, press alt-p-s-p, one at a time. This taks you to page setup group box. Then, make sure that you're margins are one inch left, right, top, and bottom. You should select the entire document before doing this to apply it to all of the text.

Hi all,

For an MLA paper, I was wondering about some formatting. How do you know what margins you have? MLA says 1 inch needed all around. Do you italicize titles of books or other written works in the essay?
Also, how do you insert a running header on the right hand side of the page? I use Microsoft word 2013 and Jaws.

I know header is under the insert tab. From there, what is best to do? If I select blank header, will I be able to type in my last name and number 1 and then the pc knows to number my pages? As you know the header has your last name and numbered pages.

Thanks.

Ashley

For margins, press alt-p-s-p, one at a time. This taks you to page setup 
group box. Then, make sure that you're margins are one inch left, right, 
top, and bottom. You should select the entire document before doing this to 
apply it to all of the text.

Subject: [nabs-l] MLA style and creating headers

Hi all,

For an MLA paper, I was wondering about some formatting. How do you know 
what margins you have? MLA says 1 inch needed all around. Do you italicize 
titles of books or other written works in the essay?
Also, how do you insert a running header on the right hand side of the page? 
I use Microsoft word 2013 and Jaws.

I know header is under the insert tab. From there, what is best to do? If I 
select blank header, will I be able to type in my last name and number 1 and 
then the pc knows to number my pages? As you know the header has your last 
name and numbered pages.

Thanks.

Ashley

Hi Amanda,

I recommend having a few strategies at hand for doing research.  When
I was in grad school, I worked with a librarian.  One of her jobs was
helping people with disabilities access printed materials or any
information that might otherwise be inaccessible to us.  She taught me
how to go through the school's databases.  She also sent inaccessible
documents over to the access tech center to be converted for me.  When
I did my graduate thesis project, I had to use a certain number of
books too.  My school's access tech center scanned those for me and
sent them to me in whatever file type I requested.

A reader is definitely a reasonable accommodation, so even if you
can't get a librarian to help you out, you can find yourself a reader
who can at least help you locate articles and books.  using Jaws OCR
is a good option in a pinch too.

I know doing research can be super frustrating.  Once you find a
strategy that works for you, I hope you enjoy reading through
everything you find.

 Hi,
     I am turning 18 in January. I just re-learned in Civics that jury duty notices are sent in the mail. For any of you who have gotten these notices, do they send the notices in an accessible format, or do you have to have a reader or KNFB Reader like all your other mail? Also, do you all get all the bills you have to pay online. For those of you who still get bills mailed to you for you to pay or keep records, how do you access them? Sorry for all the questions, they just come to me as I learn things and as my birthday approaches. Thank you.
Mikayla

Hi Mikayla,

I typically have received jury duty in print format and put it through OCR like my other mail. In terms of bills and bank statements and the like, it is generally up to you what you do and don't want to receive electronically. Many banks, trusts corporations and companies offer electronic forms of bills and statements that you can sign up for, and often times you can pay bills through mobile apps on desktop sites. That's something worth talking with your financial institution with if you're interested. I hope that helps and good luck with your adult pursuits. 

Best,

Meaghan

Hi Michaela, I'm not sure about the duty analysis, the ones that I have gotten hit came in the mail. As far as bills, I deal with them all via email and electronically online. And the same goes well for as as well for state benefits. The only thing that is not digital for me here in Texas, is my statement from Social Security however it buries the estate. And I'm sure city as well. My say, only offers print Enbrel options, at this current time. And the old fashion phone call.

Yes, you will probably have to use your reader to read the notice just like most of the mail. As far as bills some bills you can do online and some you will only be able to get paper ones and your reader may have some trouble reading them depending how they are formatted. You can get a lot of banks with apps so you’ll be able to track your account that way you could always do direct billing which means they’ll pull it out of your account. Which can be helpful. I know for me there are places that can be a bit difficult to get assistance because their website is not accessible. It’s almost like a trial and error thing. Depending on where you are from you can as local blind adults if they have any companies or Banks they use that they have found to be accessible or helpful. From what I understand Bank Of America has a very accessible app and they also will send you monthly statements in braille if you requested. I believe some cell phone companies also offered this braille monthly statement. Wishing you the best of luck and you’re already a step ahead of most 18-year-olds. A lot of kids just don’t think of it that way I wish I had or someone to guide me that way it took me a long time to grow up because I wasn’t prepared no one told me that all the stuff happens when you turn 18 LOL wishing you the best

Thank you all. This was what I thought, but was curious how everyone else tackles this challenge.

As far as bills some bills you can do online and some you will only be able to get paper ones and your reader may have some trouble reading them depending how they are formatted. You can get a lot of banks with apps so you’ll be able to track your account that way you could always do direct billing which means they’ll pull it out of your account. Which can be helpful. I know for me there are places that can be a bit difficult to get assistance because their website is not accessible. It’s almost like a trial and error thing. Depending on where you are from you can as local blind adults if they have any companies or Banks they use that they have found to be accessible or helpful. From what I understand Bank Of America has a very accessible app and they also will send you monthly statements in braille if you requested. I believe some cell phone companies also offered this braille monthly statement. Wishing you the best of luck and you’re already a step ahead of most 18-year-olds. A lot of kids just don’t think of it that way I wish I had or someone to guide me that way it took me a long time to grow up because I wasn’t prepared no one told me that all the stuff happens when you turn 18 LOL wishing you the best

Hi,
Has anyone used EverFi. EverFi is this big national educational technology site for k-12 and college. My problem is explained in the email below. I took all names and email addresses out when I forwarded this to you all. I just want to know if any of you have had to use this site. I called as I didn’t have the info to fill out the support form. The person I spoke to basically had no clue about accessibility or other  formats. My TVI found the email of the EverFi representative for our area, and I emailed her. I just want equal access to the info, and my TVI is doing everything in her power to get it for me. I have no worries about getting what I need. However, I want this website to be accessible for future students. I am not looking for a fight, it would just be good to know if anyone else has had these problems.

Yes. I used this program for my economics class. While I did find some 
accessibility bugs, I was able to work around them. Your specific course 
could be different though, which is usually the case with online classes.

I was using NVDA with Firefox on Windows 7. Windows 10 wasn't out at the 
time. Maybe that combination would work for you, if you're not using it 
already? there shouldn't be a huge accessibility difference if you're 
using Windows 10 with Firefox though, so I wouldn't focus too much on 
the operating system.

Message-ID: <B6F50831-E131-4033-A0AA-B28875A4BCAE@gmail.com>

This is not directed to my NFB cane. This is directed to the school I go to. I go to a blind school, in which someone advised me to switch schools to public school. So, I'm using my NFB cane, and they think that the cane is too long and it's a safety issue. IT's NOT A SAFETY ISSUE!!! I tried to fight, but I lost the fight. They told me to shrink my hand to the lower part of the the cane. This happened some weeks ago, but I just want to rant about this on the list. They need to understand that I can use my long cane. That's it. You can text me at my phone number in my signature. I also need new friends to talk to.

In this case if you are going to a public school, I completely agree
with your school.  It isn't that difficult to shorten up your grip on
your straight cane and just move your hand down a bit.  Those NFB
canes are so long, that you could trip someone.  I didn't know about
shortening up my cane grip until I went to the school for the blind in
Illinois.  If I had, then I wouldn't have tripped someone once with my
folding cane.  When I picked up my cane, I had found that when the
person tripped, my cane had broken right at one of the joints, and
couldn't be put back together again.  I had to get a new cane.

The school isn’t denying you from using your cane. When in a busy and crowded area, it is safer for you and people around you if you use a pencil grip. This allows you to safely navigate through the area with a lesser chance for your cane breaking or a tripping for those may not be paying attention to their surroundings.

While we need to be sensitive to the traveling situations in which we find ourselves, I wonder to what degree her school has explained to the other students that the cane plays a safety role for her as well, that it locates the beginning of flights of stairs, for example, and it helps her maneuver around people.  Too often we are made responsible for the safety of everyone else without expecting that there is some education of those around us.  I would frankly want to know more about this situation before I jumped on the school's bandwagon.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

The school isn’t denying you from using your cane. When in a busy and crowded area, it is safer for you and people around you if you use a pencil grip. This allows you to safely navigate through the area with a lesser chance for your cane breaking or a tripping for those may not be paying attention to their surroundings.

I’m hoping the school is pro-active, I know that it’s wishful thinking though.

Hello Roanna. You can listen to books downloaded on the bard mobile
app withouth wifi.  You just need wifi to download your chosen bard
books.  Then, you can turn off WIFI on your device, then read your
chosen book or books.  Good luck.

I could be wrong -- but I think most jury 
selection lists come from voter registration 
lists. So, until you register to vote, you are 
unlikely to be called. Also, I am 64, and have 
only been called for jury duty twice, and only 
had to actually go once.  So, it just isn't that likely for most of us.

Dear Fellow Blind Students,

I have never experienced a single semester that has not been fraught with
accessibility issues. Whether it is receiving my books late, inaccessible
labs, or restricted access to my academic materials. You all know the
feeling. You already have enough to deal with in your life, without this
additional Burdon. The heat building under your collar when everyone in the
class is starting a lab or quiz that isn’t accessible for you, the
frustration that makes you feel like pulling your hair out because you are
falling behind since you still haven’t received your books. Finally, you
can do something about it, rather than sending angry emails to the
disability office. As individuals we are powerless to change the system.
Together, we are strong and can fight.

Washington seminar is upon the horizon, and we desperately need more
personal testimonies. This is such an easy and simple task to perform,
there is no excuse why not to. It is the most basic effort to not only help
yourself, but help all your peers.

Attached to this email is a template to follow that makes writing your
letter effortless. Additionally, there are two sample letters to check out.
I challenge each single one of you to take autonomy in your life and fight
for your rights. Write your letter, send it to me at syedrizvinfb at gmail.com
and stop letting life pass you by.

Cordially,

     Syed Rizvi

Dear Federationists.

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the Illinois Annual
Convention. There, at the banquet, President Riccobono encouraged us all to
change the role that we play in our lives. Much too often blind people are
forced into passenger roles. It is upon us to wake up and be drivers. I
challenge each single one of you to stop being a passenger, take the wheel
and be a driver.

For us students, we need the access to do so. Therefore, take a stand,
right a personal testimony letter and seize your complacency.

Attached to this email find three documents. One is a letter template you
can fill out that practically writes the letter for you. The other two
attachments are example letters you can look at for inspiration.

Write your letter and send it to me at SyedRizviNFB at GMail.com.

Cordially,

     Syed Rizvi

 Sem funding program
Message-ID: <017a01d35b11$cebb0110$6c310330$@gmail.com>

Fellow students:

 

This year is a momentous time for us as we fight for our rights as blind
students in higher education. As all of you should know, the 2018 Washington
Seminar is around the corner. This year, more than ever, we need students on
the front line of history as we advocate for our rights. The National
Association of blind Students understands that finances are tight for
students; and that's where we come into play.

 

With the gracious help of President Riccobono and our national treasury,
NABS has created a matching effort in order to create a funding program to
support students in attending. This is our third annual program, where we
aim to get as many students who are interested in advocacy and national
legislation to Washington DC to fight for AIM HIGH, as well as our other
national priorities.

 

I stress this every year, but please do realize that this assistance is for
those students who need the financial help. We expect students to put skin
in the game, as well as leaning on other resources, such as local chapters
and affiliates. With that in mind, we are here to help and eager to work
with you to improve the quality of education for blind students across the
nation.

 

Applications are live; and the deadline is Sunday, November 26, 2017 at
11:59pm eastern. Late submissions will not be accepted. An appointed
committee will review the submissions and distribute decisions by
mid-December. Please be thorough in your responses.

 

Here's the application:

Fellow CABSters: 

Washington Seminar is rapidly approaching and it will be here very soon. We, as blind students, must get all the appropriate necessities and materials we need for school and our education. Let us all fight for what we believe in and let our voices be heard. With that said, we need to fight for AIM HIGH and other national priorities so that blind students, not just in California, but blind students all across the nation, can get everything they need to be successful. With the generosity and assistance of the National Association of Blind Students, there is an application for those interested in this event for financial assistance in their funding program. The deadline is November 26th at 8:59 pm PST. 

Here is the link to apply:

Good day NABsters!! 
I hope that everyone is having a wonderful school year and a wonderful convention. 
I am 18 and am receiving SSI and working during the summer. I was wondering how you all working students file your earnings. When I was in the process of getting my application looked at in great detail, my mom and I were told that there is an app for this. 
Thanks for all your help, 
Nesma

I could be wrong -- but I think most jury selection lists come from voter registration lists. So, until you register to vote, you are unlikely to be called. Also, I am 64, and have only been called for jury duty twice, and only had to actually go once.  So, it just isn't that likely for most of us.

Hello Nesmith, I think everything that you have to do is make sure that you tell social security that you're doing this. Then if you're choosing to file taxes, then you will make arrest to request your employer to get the correct forms for you to file your taxes.

I hope this finds all of you well and in good health. I would appreciate some insight and answers to this question, what I be able to find a screen reader to use with an iPad apart from the iPads screen reader/voice over option? I want a screen reader that will give me more control over what it would and would not read. The screen reader option on the iPad is very good, but the control that it affords me is very little.
Hoping and waiting to hear from you.
Blessings

Hi, 
No, you cannot use another screen reader on the iPad. Out of curiosity, what are you looking to do with the iPad? What do you want to filter out?

Hi there,
I get my bank statements electronically, and pay all my regular bills that
way. As others have said, having an OCR option is essential for any mail.

As for record-keeping, I have hanging folders of printed material for
various things (bills, statements, tax forms, etc.). I don't label the
individual forms but order them chronologically, and label the files
themselves in print and Braille (I live with sighted people so print is
important...) For taxes, for instance, I have a "Taxes" hanging folder that
has envelopes in it for each calendar year. The folder and each envelope has
print and Braille labels, but each paper in the envelopes themselves
(paystubs, charitable donations, medication receipts, really anything that
is tax-deductible) goes in those envelopes without a Braille label. Once
taxes are filed, my proof of filing goes in there too.  I have file folders
on my pc for financial documents, though need to be better at saving
invoices emailed to me by Amazon etc. I have created a personal budget
spreadsheet so I can keep track of my spending.

I don't mean to patronize anyone for all this specific information, but I
found organizing hard-copy documents really stressful and overwhelming for
some reason, so having someone help me set up a system I could stick to was
necessary for me.

HTH,
Sarah

 Hi,
     I am turning 18 in January. I just re-learned in Civics that jury duty
notices are sent in the mail. For any of you who have gotten these notices,
do they send the notices in an accessible format, or do you have to have a
reader or KNFB Reader like all your other mail? Also, do you all get all the
bills you have to pay online. For those of you who still get bills mailed to
you for you to pay or keep records, how do you access them? Sorry for all
the questions, they just come to me as I learn things and as my birthday
approaches. Thank you.
Mikayla

Hi there,

I do everything I can online.  Credit card bills, rent payments for my
apartment, my electric and internet bills are all done online.  I use
a mobile banking app, and my credit union has been good about working
with me to resolve accessibility bugs the few times they have happened
with app updates.  I know a lot of the larger banks, like PNC and
Wells Fargo, have pretty good accessibility as well.  I know
Spectrum-my internet provider-still sends me paper billing even though
I didn't request it and have access to statements online, but I just
use KNFB or Seeing AI to read those like all my other mail.  I do know
that Spectrum offers braille bills as well if you request them, but in
my case since I have the online statements I didn't bother to request
them in that format as well.

For jury duty, I'm almost 24 and have not been called yet.  Like David
Andrews said, I don't think it's all that common for most people.  As
I understand it, jury duty participants are randomly selected based on
registered voters, so you can't be called unless you're registered to
vote for one thing.  For another, as he mentioned as well, you can get
out of it.  If you're a student, if you could lose your job or a
significant portion of your income, etc, you can petition to be
excused.  Even if your job provides paid leave including for jury
duty, which some do as it is a public service, you might not be
selected to actually sit on the jury panel.  All the letter initially
calling you for jury duty means is that they want you to come to the
courthouse for jury selection, and the actual jury is determined after
the questioning that takes place during that procedure.  Even if you
do have to go and can't get out of selection, you might not even have
to attend the trial.

Hello, it might be better to call your local so security office to figure out how they want you to turn in that kind of stuff. I know mine, would prefer a written letter or a phone call. They do not have an online system for doing this yet. I wish they did.

Dear Students,

For years I have held spoons and forks with my fist on my right 
hand.  Last night I was eating dinner, and my older sister tried 
to show me how to hold a spoon by letting it rest on my last 
three fingers controlling it with my thumb.  What is the proper 
way to hold a spoon? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this 
topic.

Hello, all,
     At the end of the week, my BrailleNote Touch is being sent in for repairs, and I will be without a note-taker for about a month.  My high school relies very heavily on Google apps (Docs, Classroom, and Drive mostly), and I have a Dell laptop running JAWS/NVDA.  I have attempted to use Google services with my screen-readers in the past, but it seemed quite convoluted and the Touch was far more intuitive, so I haven't looked at it in a few months.  Have any of you successfully used Google Docs with a screen-reader?  If so, do you have any advice?

Thank you in advance,
Kelly

Hi Kelly, 
I don't own a BrailleNote Touch, but I can say that I successfully use Google Docs with VoiceOver on the Mac, and NVDA and JAWS on Windows. It's not the best experience, but it's accessible. The accessibility help articles provided by Google are very helpful. Also, make sure you're using either an older version of Firefox, any prior to Version 57, or the latest version of Chrome.

I agree. The biggest thing to know is that you have to turn off the virtual
PC cursor in JAWS to make it work. There are several great, short, tutorial
videos made by the accessibility team at Google that are worth the watch. I
don't have the link handy but a quick Google search should get it.

Best,
Greg

Hello, all,
     At the end of the week, my BrailleNote Touch is being sent in for
repairs, and I will be without a note-taker for about a month.  My high
school relies very heavily on Google apps (Docs, Classroom, and Drive
mostly), and I have a Dell laptop running JAWS/NVDA.  I have attempted to
use Google services with my screen-readers in the past, but it seemed quite

Thank you in advance,

Message-ID: <200F394B-8786-41E1-AC4B-2F64DC06F2B9@gmail.com>

Hi there friends,

I am wondering if anybody knows of any resources for practicing various levels and forms of math that are Screen reader accessible. Due to some logistical issues at my school, I am going to need to retake the Accuplacer math portion, and thus far the math questions of all of the practice materials I have found online are not accessible. I am also beginning to wonder if the Accuplacer itself will be accessible, because the last time I took it, I did not take the test independently and was using a human reader. So, to that end, I am also wondering if anybody has had success taking the math portion of the Accuplacer using a screen reader.

Thank you all very much and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Emma,

Generally the essay/short answer questions will cover material that you've studied in class. Preparing for them is just like preparing for other parts of exam, knowing your material well. If you're concerned about writing a timed essay, such as on the ACT, I suggest writing practice essays. There are a whole lot of writing prompts online you can use. If you're worried about essays on AP tests, such as DBQ's, I'm sure your teacher will have you practice those in class. Hope this is helpful.

All Best,
Sophie Trist

Hi,
It's to bad that the latest version of Firefox isn't accessible with JAWS 18. Do you think that if I just use Firefox 56, I'll be okay until they figure it out?

That's not a bad idea.

Or you could convert to NVDA, get the Eloquence synthesizer, and you 
won't have this problem at all.

Hi Ian and List,

Our Access Technology team here at the Jernigan Institute recently wrote about this problem in a blog post that you can find here. (https://nfb.org/blog/article/3388)

TL.DR version: Firefox quantum is inaccessible, Freedomscientific is working with Mozilla, you should install Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) for now.

Hope this helps!

That's not a bad idea.

Or you could convert to NVDA, get the Eloquence synthesizer, and you won't have this problem at all.

instead.

Firefox updated automatically for me, so I downgraded as well. Firefox is
working fine, except now I can't open links in outlook or word. Will
switching to ESR solve this? Or did I just royally screw something up?

Hello,
I do not know about math practice, as my school uses a program students have to pay to use. However, when I took the AcuPlacer in high school, the test was administered in Braille. I was at least able to read for myself. I then verbally gave my answers to a human scribe.

I'm not sure, but I've noticed the same thing in Outlook. I also downgraded,
but then Firefox updated itself again this morning. Installing the ESR
version overtop of 57 seems to keep things working fine, though I haven't
tested the URL problem yet.
The ESR version can be found here:

Sarah

Firefox updated automatically for me, so I downgraded as well. Firefox is
working fine, except now I can't open links in outlook or word. Will
switching to ESR solve this? Or did I just royally screw something up?

Message-ID: <CAAdv8frVfegbbLVbmVBM4ucPd5JzD_bSgW3vLKk=iCC7fjkOyg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I'm wondering how you all handle giving PowerPoint presentations?
Specifically, how do you handle changing slides/making sure you are on
the correct slide? Normally, students use the desktop computer in the
classroom to upload and display their PowerPoint, which of course
presents some challenges for me. I haven't given many individual
PowerPoint presentations in college, and for some reason I'm
completely forgetting how I handled this in high school.

I either just use the traditional way of advancing slides using the
keyboard or sometimes use a clicker. As I advance slides, JAWS usually
reads the slide title which helps me figure out what slide I'm on.

The Maryland Association of Blind Students knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind students because low expectations create obstacles between blind students and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

I use the pc; I use page down, or space bar to advance the slide.  I stand
up in the front of the room with the earphones in so I can here the
presentation, but you could use a braille display.

Hi all,

I'm wondering how you all handle giving PowerPoint presentations?
Specifically, how do you handle changing slides/making sure you are on the
correct slide? Normally, students use the desktop computer in the classroom
to upload and display their PowerPoint, which of course presents some
challenges for me. I haven't given many individual PowerPoint presentations
in college, and for some reason I'm completely forgetting how I handled this
in high school.

Danielle

Hi there,

I typically will just use the arrow keys on the keyboard. I'm kind of old-fashioned, but I also do my best to simply memorize my PowerPoint. It helps with speech organization anyway. Good luck with your presentations.

 university
Message-ID: <004001d36350$817442d0$845cc870$@gmail.com>

Hi all,

My name is Haley Sumner, and I'm currently a junior at Butler University
located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Over the past few months, I've been
working alongside my university's Office of Disability Support and our
Assistive Technology analyst to create a universal way of presenting online
mathematics courses in an accessible format for visually impaired students
using screen readers and/or refreshable Braille displays. When compiling a
list of sources to outreach, I couldn't think of a more fitting place to
start than NABS! If you're currently pursuing or have previously studied in
any area of advanced mathematics, how did you combat the prospected
accessibility barriers? What methods did you find to be most efficient when
completing practice problems and assignments, ensuring that all charts
graphs and other visual images were readily available to you, etc. Any and
all feedback, suggestions, struggles faced and the ways you conquered and
overcame would be greatly appreciated!! 

 

Let's all AIM HIGH and continue showing everyone the confident, successful,
capable and strong individuals we are!! 

 

Thanks kindly,

Haley Sumner

Hello everyone,


My name is Justin Haegele, and I am an assistant professor in the Department of Human Movement Sciences at Old Dominion University. I am conducting a qualitative study investigating the experiences of males and females with visual impairment in physical education. We are looking at experiences that people with visual impairments have had in regard to interacting with paraprofessionals during physical education, body image as youth, and physical activity engagement outside of school.  I am looking for 12 legally blind adults between the ages of 18 and 35 to participate in this study.

This study consists of an interview (60-90 minutes) conducted via phone call or Skype. Also, participants may be asked to correspond with the researcher after the completion of the interview via email.  In exchange for your participation, each selected participant will receive a $20.00 gift card. All of your responses will be anonymous and confidential.

To be eligible for this study, participants must:

  *   Be legally blind

  *   Be 18 years or older, but less than 35 years of age

  *   Have had a visual impairment (including blindness) during their k-12 experience.

  *   Participated in integrated public school physical education classes.

  *   Had a paraprofessional during your physical education classes.

  *   Be willing to complete an interview (via phone call or Skype) for 60-90 minutes.

  *   Be willing to exchange email correspondence following the interview.

If you would like to be considered for this research study, please email me at jhaegele at odu.edu<mailto:jhaegele at odu.edu>. Not all individuals who express interest will be included in the study.

I know Johns Hopkins University has some examples of college essays on their website. There's also a book called Real College Essays That Worked. I think it's by Ted Fisk.

I forget the titles but there are books on Bookshare that show sample
college essays and tips on how to write them well.
I would suggest searching for college essay and/or college applications
Best of luck!!

Hi Nesma, 

There are plenty of online resources available for writing college essays. There are some podcasts on iTunes, as well as articles and websites available through Google. Additionally, I believe the Princeton Review provides examples. You can usually also find some examples on the website of the university that you are applying to. Best of luck.

Hi All!
First off, hope you've all had a fantastic Thanksgiving.
The station that will be covering Nabs and similar content, 195 The
Globe, will be launching on Saturday December 2, 2017.
Not long after we launch, our automation will be going into an all
holiday format. And we'd like you to be part of this.
The globe is inviting you to either
1. Email me an attached mp3 file or a link to one at
ddunphy at 195theglobe.com
of you either
Giving a general Christmas wish to listeners, friends and/or family
Telling about any favorite Christmas meoires you have or traditions you enjoy
Or anything else along those lines.
Or
2. You can call them in by voicemail by calling
720-721-4866

If you decide to send an mp3 file to me instead, it may be either a
dry voice recording, or have music in the background, providing it
doesn't drown out your voice.
These clips will be played in between songs in our holiday automation
or during any holiday related live specials.
To hear an audio promo that explains this in full, go to
https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/gmi8pv
I hope we'll hear some of your holiday wishes and stories.
Thanks for taking the time to read this message.

Fellow students,

 

Thanksgiving is always a special time to take a moment out of our busy lives
in order to give thanks to those people we are most thankful for each day.
Whether you spent this holiday with family, friends, your partner, or solo,
you deserve to know that we are thankful for you. The National Association
of Blind Student's leadership team looks to our membership for guidance,
advice, and ideas as we direct the ship forward. This year is very special
as we recently celebrated our fifty years of progress. This means, our
energy is high, our eagerness is unmeasurable, and our passion for change is
at the forefront of our work. For me, NABS has taught leadership,
mentorship, advocacy, and provided me with resources I could not find
anywhere else. For you, NABS could have given you friendship, guidance,
opportunity, etc. Throughout the year, we like to hear how NABS has helped
you. More importantly, we want to hear how NABS can help you - where
challenges exist, where unanswered questions rise, and where a blind friend
may assist in a big decision. We strive to be that outlet for you.

 

We hope you know how thankful we are for you today and always.

 

Love,

Kathryn C. Webster

President

I go old school here: I have my slide contents/points in hard-copy Braille
and in the past have had a volunteer forward the slides for me. I have also
used a Braille display with a laptop, but it was a USB one with an unstable
connecting cable, so I tend to stick to Braille paper.

I either just use the traditional way of advancing slides using the keyboard
or sometimes use a clicker. As I advance slides, JAWS usually reads the
slide title which helps me figure out what slide I'm on.

Dear Students,

I hope all of you are doing well.  I have some good news to share 
with you.  Last week I received an email from my Division of 
Blind Services counselor stating that my request to upgrade to 
the BrailleNote Touch was approved at the local level.  She is 
waiting on a cost estimate from the vendor before all documents 
are submitted to the District Administrator.  On Monday November 
24th, I have an interview at the Lighthouse of Central Florida 
for the afternoon receptionist position.  Hope to hear from you 
soon.

Hi Amy,


Please try these commands for webpages using JFW

*Commonly Used Web Page Navigation Commands*

   - INSERT+F7 - Open the links list.
   - INSERT+F6 - Open the headings list.
   - INSERT+ESCAPE - Refresh the screen.
   - CTRL+F - Open the JAWS Find dialog box.
   - F3 - Find the next instance of the word you searched for using the
   JAWS Find dialog box.
   - B - Move to next button.
   - E - Move to next edit box.


Facebook verses Facebook mobile

The information covered in this lesson will be related to using the main
www.facebook.com website. Alternatively, there is a mobile version of the
site that is much more streamlined and contains less multimedia. It can be
found at m.facebook.com. The official Facebook Accessibility Team
recommends screen reader users access the main Facebook site but many
people find that the mobile site is easier to use.
Access keys

The Facebook website provides several access keys that allow you to jump to
specific links from any page. For example, you can press *ALT+1* from any
page and your cursor will move directly to the "Home" link near the top of
the page. Press *ENTER* on this link to navigate to your Facebook home page
where you will find notifications and the news feed. The following are the
access keys available from any page.

   - *ALT+1* navigates to the "Home" link which when activated moves to
   your Facebook home page.
   - *ALT+2* navigates to the link which will take you to your timeline.
   The text of this link is usually your name.
   - *ALT+8* navigates to the "About" link where you can learn more about
   the Facebook company.
   - *ALT+9* navigates to the "Terms" link where you can read the Facebook
   terms and policies.
   - *ALT+0* navigates to the "Help" link where you can access Facebook
   help information.

The News Feed

The beginning of each entry in the news feed is marked with a heading.
Therefore you can simply press *H* to move to each item followed by the *DOWN
arrow* if you want to read the text of the entry. Only a small number of
entries appear on the page at first and as you continue to press *H* to
move down the list, more entries will appear automatically.

Facebook has several shortcut keys designed to allow you to quickly
navigate and interact with the news feed. In order to use them, you first
have to turn off the JAWS Virtual PC cursor by pressing *INSERT+Z* or
*CAPSLOCK+Z* if using JAWS in laptop mode. Press the command again to turn
the Virtual PC cursor back on and resume navigating with other JAWS
commands. The following are the Facebook shortcut keys that you can use to
navigate the news feed when the Virtual PC cursor is turned off.

   - Press *J* to move to the next item in the news feed, or press *K* to
   move to the previous item.
   - Press *L* to "like" or "unlike" a post.
   - Press *C* to comment on a post.
   - Press *S* to share a post.

When navigating the news feed with the Facebook shortcut keys you will hear
each item but will not be able to review the text. For example, you will
not be able to read the text by character, word, or by line. You will also
not be able to activate any links that may be in the news feed entry.

If using JAWS 15 or later, you can use the Speech History feature to review
the text of a news feed entry. As you are pressing *J* to move to each item
and you find an entry that you would like to examine more closely, press
*INSERT+SPACEBAR* followed by *H* to activate the speech history window.
The JAWS Results Viewer will open and you will find the text of the news
feed entry at the bottom of the window. When finished, press *ESCAPE* to
exit the Results Viewer window and return to the Facebook page.

If you are not using JAWS 15 or later or if you would like to activate a
link in the news feed article, you will need to reactivate the Virtual PC
cursor and then find the news feed entry. Press *H* until you find the
heading for the entry. You can then scroll down to the link or to read the
text of the item.

Keep in mind that when navigating with the Facebook shortcut keys, you are
not moving the JAWS Virtual PC cursor. This means that when switching back
and forth between the Virtual PC cursor and the Facebook shortcut keys,
your cursors will likely be in two different places.
Sorting the news feed

Perform the following steps to change the sort order of the items in the
news feed.

   1. Navigate to the level two heading titled "News Feed."
   2. Scroll beneath it and you will find a button menu that should be
   collapsed. The title of the button menu may indicate how the news feed is
   currently sorted.
   3. Press *ENTER* on the button menu and the JAWS forms mode will
   activate. This opens the menu of choices but you cannot navigate it until
   you return to the Virtual PC cursor.
   4. Press *NUMPAD PLUS* key on a desktop, or *CAPSLOCK+SEMICOLON* on a
   laptop to switch back to the Virtual PC cursor and deactivate Forms mode.
   5. Scroll down and you will find the items in the sort menu. For
   example, you might hear JAWS say "Top stories menu" or, "Most recent menu."
   Press *ENTER* on the one you want to sort by.
   6. Forms mode will activate again so you will need to turn it back off
   with *NUMPAD PLUS* key on a desktop, or *CAPSLOCK+SEMICOLON* on a laptop.
   7. The page will refresh and the news feed items will be sorted based on
   your selection in the menu.

This process of activating a button menu and then turning off the JAWS
Forms mode must generally be done anytime you want to activate a menu on
the Facebook site. When Forms mode is on, the menu items generally cannot
be activated properly.

For example, to log out of Facebook, you must first activate the Account
Settings button menu and then turn Forms mode back off. You can then scroll
down to the "Log out" button and activate it by pressing *ENTER*.
Posting a status update

Perform the following steps to post a status update.

   1. From the top of your main Facebook home page, press *E* until you get
   to the "What's on your mind" edit box.
   2. Activate Forms mode and type your message. Keep in mind that
   sometimes the text of your post can only be read using character navigation.
   3. Deactivate Forms mode by pressing *NUMPAD PLUS* key on a desktop, or
   *CAPSLOCK+SEMICOLON* on a laptop.
   4. You can now scroll down to the button menu that allows you to specify
   who will see your post. It may be titled "Friends button menu..." which
   means that only your Facebook friends will see the post.
   5. If you want to change this, press *ENTER* on the button menu and make
   your selection. Make sure Forms mode is back off if you do this.
   6. Scroll down to the "Post" button and activate it.

Responding to updates, comments, and messages via e-mail

Facebook often will send you an e-mail to tell you about some activity that
has taken place. For example, you may be alerted when you receive a new
message, are tagged in a post, or have received a comment. In most cases
you can simply reply to the e-mail using the standard "reply" feature and
Facebook will take care of the rest. For example, if someone comments on a
post you wrote, you can simply reply to the e-mail that Facebook will send
rather than going to your Facebook page and replying to the comment.
Things to note

   - Much of the content on the Facebook pages may change without the
   entire page refreshing. Use the arrow keys to navigate and look for text
   that may have changed near the cursor.
   - Some dialog boxes may appear but they are embedded in the web page
   rather than in different windows. This is most often when you are about to
   do something like deleting a post and Facebook needs to confirm if you want
   to continue. You can use the arrow keys to find the text and buttons in the
   message.
   - When working with a button menu, you generally have to activate it
   first by pressing *ENTER* on it. Then turn off Forms mode in JAWS before
   scrolling down to find the menu items.
   - It may be easier to respond to posts, comments, and messages by
   replying to the e-mails that Facebook sends.
   - If browsing the news feed by headings in JAWS, use the hot key *H* rather
   than activating the list of headings. Only a few headings in the news feed
   will be displayed if you activate the list of headings. Pressing *H* or
   using the Facebook hot keys will allow you to find all the items.


Hope that helps answer your question

Students,

 

As you relax on the couch and continue to digest your delicious Thanksgiving
meals and, of course, the leftovers, I want you to ponder the possibility of
joining us on Capitol Hill this January. The power and energy that comes
with swaying our lawmakers to understand the importance of our education as
blind students is unlike anything else one could experience. The confidence,
independence, and passion we feel by having the ability to speak up for what
we truly believe in and life for each day is a leadership development
opportunity no one should let down.

 

With these thoughts in mind, I ask that you apply for funding to attend our
2018 Washington Seminar. While funding sources span across affiliates,
local, chapters, and personal finances, NABS is just another outlet to
support you in pursuing your professional and leadership goals.

 

Applications close tomorrow, so don't waste any more precious time. Here's
the link again, in case you've misplaced it.

Good luck, and talk to you soon!

Good evening,
For my digital humanities project, I am trying to create a podcast. I have imported my audio files to Audacity to edit them by deleting pauses in my recordings, improving the sound quality, and minimizing background noises. As I have some vision, I use Zoomtext, but it appears to be somewhat incompatible with Audacity; my magnified cursor will not allow me to highlight and delete portions of my MP3 file and eventually it froze. Does anyone know how to fix this or of any other easy-to-use and accessible sound editing programs?
Best,Kaley

As y'all know, the National Association of Blind Students, a proud division
of the National Federation of the Blind, facilitates  valuable programming
that assists blind students to work and live independently.   Our
initiatives include mentorship programs, legislative training, regional
student seminars, and leadership and personal development. With over 50
years of history, and over 1000 members, NABS inspires our future leaders to
live the lives we want!

 

In 2017, our lives are so much different when compared to previous
generations. Technology has transformed the way we interact and collaborate.
Moreover, blind students are continuing to break down the misconceptions
that we are not worthy in the workplace. Guess what? These are NABS, our
students, paving the path for future generations. I know that I'm proud of
the work we are doing; and hope our future leaders will feel similar
sentiments. Without your love and support, we would not be where we are
today, or heading in the direction we are running toward.

 

With this in mind, spread awareness of what we are doing. Start
conversations about the work of NABS. Most importantly, share our mission by
blasting our YouTube video across social media and to your contacts.

 

Happy Giving Tuesday!

Hi  All,
I am currently a sophomore in college and am really enjoying  my  experience, but I have a question for all of you.
I was wondering how all of you find out about events on campus. Sometimes, my school will have very small events which are so small that they are hardly talked about. I have been told  that there are posters all ver campus which obviously I cannot ee. 
Do you ask your friends or parents to read you posters that they see? Do you only go to events that you learn about through email? Or do you check an online calendar?
Thanks so much for all your help.
Vejas

Hi there Vejas,

At my particular school, I receive info about events via email and text message. I signed up for alerts with my school’s office of student life, and most schools should have a similar office you can visit to find out about activities happening around campus. You can also find out about clubs and such on school websites, and there usually are calendars on the websites somewhere that will talk about upcoming events. Definitely get in touch with your schools campus life/Student Life/SGA/similar office to find out about things happening.

Most events on my campus are advertised through email. I have also
asked my RA each year to let me know when they hold events on my
floor, which are things not advertised over email. Some have been
better about this than others. Sometimes, if I know a certain club is
holding an event but do not know much about it, I will ask someone I
know in that club some questions.

Good Luck,
Danielle

Hi Vejas,
I would add Twitter as a good resource that hasn't yet been mentioned. Your
school and/or their office of student life might have its own account or
hashtag you can follow. If posters are around, see if you can't find contact
information for the club and remind them of accessibility as a priority.
Have fun,
Sarah

Hi  All,
I am currently a sophomore in college and am really enjoying  my
experience, but I have a question for all of you.
I was wondering how all of you find out about events on campus. Sometimes,
my school will have very small events which are so small that they are
hardly talked about. I have been told  that there are posters all ver campus
which obviously I cannot ee. 
Do you ask your friends or parents to read you posters that they see? Do you
only go to events that you learn about through email? Or do you check an
online calendar?
Thanks so much for all your help.
Vejas

Hi All,

I don't ask anyone to read me posters. I just go to events that I hear about email. I have a lot of friends in a diverse array of organizations on campus, so a lot of times, they invite me to their events on Facebook. Hope this helps!

All Best,
Sophie

If my parents saw a poster for something they thought was noteworthy, they'd
read me the details, but I went to school out-of-town so that wasn't always
an option.

Hi Kaley,
I haven't done any sound editing myself, but I've heard good things about
goldwave, which you could probably use a trial version of if you're only
going to use it for this course.
HTH,
Sarah

Subject: [nabs-l] Accessible Sound Editing Programs

Good evening,
For my digital humanities project, I am trying to create a podcast. I have
imported my audio files to Audacity to edit them by deleting pauses in my
recordings, improving the sound quality, and minimizing background noises.
As I have some vision, I use Zoomtext, but it appears to be somewhat
incompatible with Audacity; my magnified cursor will not allow me to
highlight and delete portions of my MP3 file and eventually it froze. Does
anyone know how to fix this or of any other easy-to-use and accessible sound
editing programs?
Best,Kaley

if your using windows, gold wave is pretty simple to use, though its
plugin options are limited.  if you have a mac, I would suggest garage
band for this.  If you need any help, I am a sound engineer on the
side, so I'd be happy to give you any help you need.

I also went to a small school, so I would check Facebook pages for some of the clubs and that's how I found out about events that were happening. You can also wonder by some of the rooms that usually host events and see if something is going on. Hope this helps.

Typically my college will send out emails about events. Our student government is on top of things, and sends out emails on the day of events in the day before events. You can also ask professor is because they often host traveling scholars or advise for some of these clubs. If you can get involved in the student government in some capacity, you'll find out more about events too.
