[NABS-L] Aira in academics, again

[Miso Kwak]

Another important use of Aira that is related to academics would be
having someone assist you when you are making sure that your
powerpoint presentations and/or papers look the way you want them to
to sighted individuals. Aira also can help you navigate various
inaccessible web sites that you may encounter during your studies.
