Subject: [NABS-L] NFB of California Convention
Message-ID: <CABP7S8MnD6tubum3xcGF9xv4=rubP1ZxC+5iW+RHprykwhLfAg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi students,

This is just a reminder that the NFB of California state convention is
just around the corner. It will be the weekend of October 22nd, and
will adjourn on Sunday, October 25th. We hope you'll come join
us--it's virtual, but there will be plenty of excitement and fun.

Just a reminder of CABS election policies: If you want to vote in
elections, membership dues are needed by the end of October 1st. It's
a $5 annual fee, which will allow you to have an impact on California
student leadership. Make your voice heard, and help us plan and
execute events for students across the state. We welcome any dues or
donations at any time, but in order to be eligible for voting we must
have received them by the end of October 1st, 2020. Please Venmo
Rochelle Houston at Rochelle-Houston-1. In the memo field, write
something like "CABS dues".

People who have paid dues by the end of October 1st will receive an
email on the morning of October 2nd confirming eligibility to run in
and vote in elections. At that time, people will have two weeks to
submit campaign speech audio or video. Speeches may not exceed one
minute in length. at the end of October 15th, campaign speeches will
no longer be accepted. All eligible people will receive a Google form
for voting on the morning of October 16th, and will have until the end
of October 23rd to vote. Results will be announced at the California
student division meeting on October 24th, by someone who is not
running for election or re-election.

Positions up for election this year are president, VP, secretary,
treasurer, and board member(s). According to our constitution, the
current president can decide whether we have one or three board
members. If one or two people run, we'll have one position for
election. If three or more run, we'll have three positions, with the
top three people elected. CABS is starting to gain active membership,
and I want as many people to develop their leadership capabilities as
possible.

That's about it. The CABS business meeting will be October 24th, from
9:00 AM to 10:30 AM Pacific time. Thanks, and let me know if you have
any questions.

Best,
CXB

Oops, forgot to include membership eligibility. Anyone can be a member. To run for election, you have to be enrolled at a school in California. Thanks.

Hi, 
I was wondering if any of you have used DocuSign successfully to sign documents online? 
I have had to get sighted assistance to drag my signature to the right part of the document. 
Have any of you been able to use it without sighted assistance? 
Thanks,

Hi Vejas,

I have used DocuSign both as a signer and a creator of a document. There should be an option in DS at the top of a document to be signed that is labeled press enter here to use a screen reader. Or something similar. Activating that link should give you an accessible view of the document where you can just press the various sign buttons on the form and you should be good to go.

Document creation on the other hand - creating a document for others to sign - is not so accessible but is out of scope for this post.

I have had to use this platform for signing documents for work. Did you 
turn on accessibility mode, because without it there are problems, but 
with it I was able to do it just fine.

There are a few options for signing, you can create your own signature or  put the initials option for them. That’s what I usually do.

Hi everyone, 
Thank you all for your replies. I will check out accessibility mode. 
Out of curiosity, did you use a PC, a Mac or an iPhone? 
Thanks,

I used Docusign when I bought my house in 2014. There is an accessibility 
mode, but I did not have to enable it. I was able to read and sign the 
documents with no problems.

Message-ID: <F6F1F81E-7548-4E31-B8E5-B1209F0E66DF@gmail.com>

Good Morning NABS Friends and Fam

I hope that this message finds you all well. I am writing to first update and congratulate you all on the closure and successful completion of the recruitment process of our annual Fantasy Football fundraising initiative. Each year, the National Association of Blind Students strives to create meaningful and engaging programming that provides networking, advocacy, and philosophical development opportunities to blind students nationwide. Whether it be our annual attendance at our Washington Seminar, our numerous regional state student seminars, or our collective presence at our annual national convention, NABS’ commitment to the equality, opportunity, and security of blind students could not be realized without the financial backing generated from initiatives  like Fantasy Football. This year, the initiative has officially filled to capacity, with four leagues registered consisting of twelve teams per league. We wish the participants the best of luck over the next few weeks.
In the meantime, NABS is happy to announce the member who has risen to the occasion and met the challenge we placed before all Federationists. This challenge, to be the student that compelled the most external participants to register for the fundraising initiative, was actively attempted by many of our members, resulting in the highest registration of non-NFB members in the program’s history. As this message is written, there are currently 26 external team owners registered across the four leagues. This means that over half of our registered players are people that are not members of the Federation and are participating solely on the persuasive skills of student members of this great organization. With almost a third of that total number of new participants being registered by one student, it is with excitement that I can confirm that Logan Stenzel is the student that succeeded in meeting the challenge of who could bring in the most external players. Logan will be receiving the $25 gift card that was donated to NABS from Mt. Zion Church in Kalamazoo, Michigan. If possible, please take some time to congratulate Logan, and all of the students who worked so hard, on a job well done of recruiting and helping to build the Federation with their enthusiasm and impeccable marketing skills. I hope that we can continue a strong start to our fundraising adventures together with love, hope, and determination.

Subject: [NABS-L] Uploading documents with web application forms
Message-ID: <5f5a74fc.1c69fb81.2bc0a.5908@mx.google.com>

Hi all,

I am applying to graduate schools to start attending next spring, and part of the application process for one of the schools I'm applying to requires me to directly upload documents such as my school transcript. Unfortunately, though, while I'm able to fill out the other parts of the application (answering questions and checking boxes), that particular part for uploading documents is not accessible at all. I tried to do it using my iPhone, and when I clicked on the Upload button, VoiceOver sent me an alert from Safari asking me to select which documents I wanted to upload, but then nothing happened when I double tapped on it. Even worse, I couldn't navigate the page at all, and couldn't even advance or reverse webpages—both the Back and Forward buttons from Safari were dimmed.
My dad believes that a website with this accessibility issue are not 508-comliant, but I'm not sure I agree with him since I've never had experience with this sort of thing before. It seems to me that uploading documents to a webpage might be better equipped for a sighted person to handle, since all they have to do is maneuver between their chosen document and the form using the mouse.

So I was just wondering whether anyone has run into this issue before. If so, what did you do to resolve it?

I hope to hear from someone soon.

Thank you very much for your help, and I hope everyone is enjoying the start to their semesters despite the current global circumstances.

Sami

Hello Everyone,
 
My name is Caroline, and learned about NABS at the 2018 National Convention. I’m a 3rd-year biology and chemistry student at Ohio State and I want to do science accessibility. I’m not blind, but I read braille tactically since I wanted to read books in the car without getting dizzy. I love braille, and I’m currently working on my braille transcription certification! I also run a 3D printing for the blind nonprofit called See3D, and we are printing models for this astronomy camp, so wanted to pass the info along!
 
Are you interested in outer space? Do you want to become involved in astronomy research? Do you want to learn about college life from a university mentor? Are you excited about the prospect of learning from space scientists?
Then join The Ohio State University (OSU) / Ohio State School for the Blind (OSSB) Space Science Mentorship Program!
This new completely virtual after-school program welcomes blind and visually impaired students (grade 8-12) from all across the US to participate! Students will be paired with an OSU mentor studying Space Science and will get to learn about and contribute to scientific research! Students will also receive a free 3D printed constellation dome and black hole model!
 
THE DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION IS SEPTEMBER 14. Please note that parental supervision is required for all meetings, which will take place on Zoom from 4-5pm ET every Tuesday. The program will be from September 15 to December 15, 2020.

Link to register as a BVI student: http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07eh96qt5u060230f4&llr=agn49dabb

 Hi 
I have ran into this as well. I agree with your father, however, unfortunately 508 isn’t being enforced really that well with the bcc or DOJ under this current administration.
If you would like to complete this yourself without sighted assisted from your father I would  suggest downloading TeamViewer. I would also download the Aira app you could at least use it for 5 minutes for free  however, you can also get a paid option.
Hope this helps
Ken

Hi Sami, 
I have uploaded lots of documents from my iPhone. I've never experienced the problem you have described: if I did, I would find that frustrating. Have you uploaded other documents from your phone on other sites without a problem? 
For me, the way I prefer uploading documents is by first saving them either in Files or in a Dropbox folder. Usually when I click the option to vpload a document, I have the option of either taking a picture, going to the photo library, or browsing. If I hit the Brouse button, I'm then able to navigate to Files or Dropbox, and then select the file I want. I've done this on multiple sites in a similar way, but each can have its quirks. For Canvas, the platform I'm currently using for graduate school, I often have to click on my document twice because, even though it's already saved in either Dropbox or Files, it has to download. 
Hope this helps, 
Vejas

Message-ID: <mailman.374.1772982289.2863824.nabs-l_nfbnet.org@nfbnet.org>

NABS Members,

Hello, everyone, I hope all of you are doing well. I have a question regarding a business calculus class I am taking. First, I was wondering if any of you have ever taken a calculus class before? If so, what did you use to succeed in this course? My second question is, have any of you use Microsoft excel to do calculus problems? If so, how did that work for you? Thanks, and I hope to hear from someone soon. 

Kind Regards,

Jackson Schwoebel

I took calculus last fall. I had braille materials, which was very important for me, and I actually worked one on one with my professor to do homework and go over exams and quizzes, because my school insisted on using a piece of software for homework that was inaccessible to me. it was not business calculus, and we did not use any Microsoft products.

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to access the calculator within
Respondus Lockdown Browser? I'm using a PC and Jaws currently, if that
makes a difference.

Good morning Danielle,
I had to use the browser for a psychology class and ended up asking the
professor for an exemption from that software. I know that blackboard may
or may not offer a way that you can access the test through a special
regenerative code. Unfortunately though, I don’t have an answer to your
specific question.

Yes, this browser is accessible. I’ve used it for several courses in the past with no problems. I’m just not sure how to access the tool bar where the calculator is apparently located.

Message-ID: <DCD18A88-08E3-49DB-96CC-122A5ADD0AA1@writeme.com>

Hi all,

The following course, which cannot be waved, is part of my degree plan for a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration marketing. Assuming all the equations in this course are readable, which they should be by the time I start, I’m wondering what other accessibility hurtles I may need to look out for. It is on a course platform which is very accessibility friendly, and all other courses I’ve taken on that platform have thorough alt text descriptions for any graphs or charts. I will paste the six course competencies and course description below.

* The graduate verifies the validity of a given model.
* The graduate analyzes graphical depictions of real-world situations using functional properties.
* The graduate applies logistic functions and their properties to real-world problems.
* The graduate applies exponential functions and their properties to real-world problems.
* The graduate applies exponential functions and their properties to real-world problems.
The graduate interprets the real-world meaning of various functions based on notation, graphical representations, and data representations.

Course description

Applied Algebra is designed to help candidates develop competence in working with functions, working with the algebra of functions, and using some applied properties of functions. Candidates will learn how to apply different kinds of functions to relevant, real-life examples. From there, the algebra of several families of functions will be explored, including linear, polynomial, exponential, and logistic functions. Candidates will also learn about relevant, applicable mathematical properties of each family of functions, including rate of change, concavity, maximizing/minimizing, and asymptotes. These properties will be used to solve problems related to your major and make sense of problems in everyday living. Candidates should complete Applied Probability and Statistics or its equivalent prior to engaging in Applied Algebra.

Kind regards,

Rose

Hey, students!
It’s no secret that a new school year is upon us. It’s also no secret that a huge component of success is learning to manage your time wisely. But, how, exactly, can this be done?
In this month’s blog post, several students offer tips to master time both in and out of the classroom. From creating a routine to conquering procrastination, this post is a great guide to time management.
Find the blog post here.<https://nabslink.org/content/blog-post-september-2020-tips-master-time>
Happy reading. 😊
Best,
Nina

Hello Rose,

I have found using tactile graphs and a talking graphing calculator to be helpful for my math and statistics classes. I had also devised a method of using wiki sticks or sticky pipe cleaners and raised line graph paper for an economics class. Finally, my college had a tack board with a set of push pins and rubber bands that were also used for some of my lower level math classes that were based on teaching concepts visually. 

I believe you can purchase these items from the American Printing House. You could also find some of these items at a local craft or hobby store. Or you can find them online as well.

Hopefully you can find a plan of action that works best for you.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Hi all,

The following course, which cannot be waved, is part of my degree plan for a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration marketing. Assuming all the equations in this course are readable, which they should be by the time I start, I’m wondering what other accessibility hurtles I may need to look out for. It is on a course platform which is very accessibility friendly, and all other courses I’ve taken on that platform have thorough alt text descriptions for any graphs or charts. I will paste the six course competencies and course description below.

* The graduate verifies the validity of a given model.
* The graduate analyzes graphical depictions of real-world situations using functional properties.
* The graduate applies logistic functions and their properties to real-world problems.
* The graduate applies exponential functions and their properties to real-world problems.
* The graduate applies exponential functions and their properties to real-world problems.
The graduate interprets the real-world meaning of various functions based on notation, graphical representations, and data representations.

Course description

Applied Algebra is designed to help candidates develop competence in working with functions, working with the algebra of functions, and using some applied properties of functions. Candidates will learn how to apply different kinds of functions to relevant, real-life examples. From there, the algebra of several families of functions will be explored, including linear, polynomial, exponential, and logistic functions. Candidates will also learn about relevant, applicable mathematical properties of each family of functions, including rate of change, concavity, maximizing/minimizing, and asymptotes. These properties will be used to solve problems related to your major and make sense of problems in everyday living. Candidates should complete Applied Probability and Statistics or its equivalent prior to engaging in Applied Algebra.

Kind regards,

Rose

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND APPLAUDS REPORT OF UNITED STATES
COMMISSION ON CIVIL RIGHTS

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND (SEPTEMBER 17, 2020): The National Federation of the
Blind, America's civil rights organization of the blind, issued the below
statement regarding a report from the United States Commission on Civil
Rights entitled _Subminimum Wages: Impacts on the Civil Rights of People
with Disabilities_ [2]: 

"Ever since our founding eighty years ago, the National Federation of the
Blind has opposed the payment of subminimum wages to blind and disabled
Americans under Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act," said Mark
Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind. "We commend
the report of the United States Commission on Civil Rights issued today and
applaud the Commission's call for the end of the antiquated and
discriminatory 14(c) program. While we will further review the report to
assess its details and recommendations, the Commission's work is a giant
step toward eliminating the historic injustice of subminimum wages and
creating true equality of opportunity for workers with disabilities. We
urge the general public to actively join us in standing against this
injustice and to work meaningfully toward its elimination from our local
communities."

So sorry to bother you, and please forgive me if I’m wrong, however, on a
previous email, it said that the call would be at 9 PM Eastern. Has it
changed? Just wanted to clarify before hand. Thank you in advance!!!

So sorry to bother you, and please forgive me if I’m wrong, however, on a
previous email, it said that the call would be at 9 PM Eastern. Has it
changed? Just wanted to clarify before hand. Thank you in advance!!!

Hey hey Students!

Normally, CABS would have two receptions--one for southern California
and one for northern California. somehow though, we didn't think that
Corona with CABS would be a good idea, so we're going virtual this
year. No pizza, but we do have a wonderful panel of students and
parents who will be talking about their experiences with acquiring
accommodations both online and in-person. There is no registration
fee! But there will be at least one door prize and plenty of fun
icebreakers. We encourage everyone to come--don't let state boundaries
prevent you from having a good time and learning from some cool
people. Most importantly, stay safe, and stay healthy!

Date: Saturday, September 26, 2020
Time: 2:00-3:30 Pacific
Location: wherever makes you feel comfortable

Hey guys,

Am I missing something? Or are research articles in journals generally
inaccessible?

How would you guys skim an article like the 2 I have attached? The
headings don't function as they should. It doesn't give me page
numbers. Also Adobe isn't great because Control + F doesn't work. I am
reading it with Google Chrome. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!

I read it in Adobe acrobat, which is my default PDF program to use, and it loads fine; however, I have never "skimmed" articles or anything before in PDF. The document is reading fine from just reading the two documents as the files are pretty large (both of them are). It is never a smart idea to open it up in a web browser, as it makes it bit harder to navigate with JAWS best to purchase the Adobe Acrobat software (I did as I read a TON loads of PDF files; both work and home, etc). However, I know cost can be a concern as a student.

This is the best I can help you!

Jen

Hey Amy,

I second what Jen wrote. For skimming, it's not perfect, but I use
control + down arrow. This reads paragraph by paragraph, and I just move
onto the next paragraph when I think I've heard enough of the previous one.

Kindly,
Gene

To: job-discussions at nfbnet.org

So the job is a research assistant in a psychology lab. Part of my job
will to be using Qualtrics to create surveys but that is not
accessible. Even so, I sure know how to create a survey. The same with
Mendley, a reference classification system. Again I've read it's not
accessible, but I can certainly classify documents. I have that brain
power.

1. Since all the recruiting is on Zoom, I don't think they know I'm
blind. Should I tell them or should not tell them unless I'm hired to
protect myself?
2. Does anyone know of any accessible JAWS alternatives to Qualtrics
and/or Mendeley?
3. What are my options? I know I can use AIRA (for a fee) or a reader.
Or I can put the information in Microsoft Word or ExCel for others to
put in the software? Are there any other ideas?

Thank you so much.

Do you have the job?

If not, then it is up to you.

You can tell them honestly that you hav never used it.

Outside of that, you will have to explain to them that it is unaccessible
and tell them about your disability.

At that point, they may withdraw the opportunity.

Justin

Justin,

But they will ask me about my familiarity with the software, how quickly I
can learn it, etc. What should I say?

I'm giving you the rules of engagement.

You may have to alter them as you see fit.

Try to get the job if you can before telling them about the disability.

Now, here is something that I do.

If I truly know something is inaccessible, and don't have a work around, for
me personally, that is a job I would skip.  However, that is not a universal
answer.  Just because I don't know how to do something, does not mean the
next person who is Blind doesn't.  I don't have every answer, but I would
exhaust every possibility.  Talk to your vocational rehabilitation
counselor.  Maybe it could be scripted, or made accessible in some way.  if
this is school related, talk to your office for student disability.  

Thanks,

Justin

Message-ID: <CAEvYTGP4SA127Q57KG7yh0v0t56Cugfu2AVGtOWa-1v3KKTDtQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

If you have already heard about our upcoming CABS Student Reception, which
is themed advocacy and open to all, please take note that there has been an
unforeseen last minute scheduling conflict for some of our speakers that
has forced us to change the date of the event. The reception will now be
held next Saturday, October 3rd from 2-3:30pm PDT. We apologize for the
last minute change and hope that you will still be able to virtually join
us.

Full Event Announcement with pre-reception competition details:

We are excited to announce that the California Association of Blind
Students will be hosting a virtual reception next Saturday, on the 3rd of
October, from 2-3:30pm PDT via Zoom (link and call-in information at the
end of this email). Just to clarify, the reception is open to anyone who is
interested. You do not have to be a student, or from California.

Activities will include a live panel of students and parents with
significant experience advocating for themselves and others in a period of
online education, multiple interactive games, door prizes, and more!

Let the fun begin now with our first activity! We are asking that you send
us a creative piece to express what the word “advocacy” means to you. It
can be a short video clip where you explain the term, a song, a poem, or
anything else you can think of. The person with the most creative piece
will receive a prize, which will be revealed at the reception. To
participate in this activity please post your piece to our Facebook group,
or submit it by email to gene.sh.kim at gmail.com no later than next Friday,
October 2nd at 6:00pm PDT. We look forward to reviewing your submissions
and meeting you next week! Until then, stay safe.

the entity designer be accessible to design this in visual studio. Any one
came up with the same issue. How did they get around it.

Hi everyone,

I will be transferring from a community college at some point. I am finding that accessibility especially in math and my computer science classes are vital. I really want to find a school where I don't have to fight so much for equal access. With that said, do you guys have any recommendations for a university who has their act together in regards to blind computer science students? 

Warm regards,
Aimee

Hey Aimee,

I can only speak on my personal experiences as a sophomore who hasn’t done too much advanced coursework, but Stanford has been phenomenal at providing accommodations, especially our CS department. The professors and the Office of Accessible Education have a lot of experience making materials accessible for blind folks to the point where they’re more on top of it than I am sometimes...

I have a friend at University of Washington who has also had a positive experience as an upperclassmen. Other schools I’m optimistic about but don’t have much concrete knowledge of would be Berkeley, UCLA, USC, CMU, Harvey Mudd, SF State, San Jose state, Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard, and University of Michigan. A lot of these schools have faculty who are big names in the accessibility-research space. I’m sure there are more out there, but these are the ones I’m relatively confident about.

Best of luck with the application process!

Kindly,
Gene

Wichita State University is currently accommodating one such student. I work in the academic accessibility and accommodations group, and we seem to be doing a pretty good job. The reason they’re doing so well with this content is because I was the one who filed a federal complaint against the University and since then things have been getting better. I am only telling you that I filed a complaint so that you know I am not seeing this from the outside and making assumptions about how well the school is doing. I get to work with all of the accessible materials that are provided for the student including braille, tactile graphics, and accessible software when necessary.
I am not saying WSU is perfect, but I know that if you go here you will have a fighting chance, which you will not have at many other universities especially if you have to build their accessibility for something they have never accommodated before, which does happen quite a lot of the time with blind students in stem.
Good luck!
Emily

Dear Aimee,

I am so sorry to hear about your experience with your community
college. I am only in my first quarter as a freshman taking a class in
mathematics and computer science each, and Stanford's Office of
Accessible Education and in-house accessible format production team
have been reasonably solid. I have heard bad things about Georgia
Tech. My interaction with Harvard is very limited, but the impression
I got was that they were willing and had the resources but did not
have previous experience in supporting blind STEM students. In
general, my approach towards university selection in the college
application process was to apply to all the schools I liked, and then
based on the ones I got admission offers from, I would factor in the
track record of their disability services while deciding which to turn
down and which one institution to commit to. Good luck!

Thanks.

Georgia Institute of Technology has been awesome. They actually do research on how to make things more accessible. Also their DSS office is super proactive.

Hi everyone,

I will be transferring from a community college at some point. I am finding that accessibility especially in math and my computer science classes are vital. I really want to find a school where I don't have to fight so much for equal access. With that said, do you guys have any recommendations for a university who has their act together in regards to blind computer science students? 

Warm regards,
Aimee

Hello Amy,

It looks as though some people have already given you some good suggestions. Another university you could put on your list would be Michigan State University. They have a really good disability office, and I know of someone who is totally blind who received a degree in computer science.

Good luck in finding the right transfer university for you.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Subject: [NABS-L] SAT general examination
Message-ID: <CAF=_z1G-eC+Kjjct9SHyNEh7hBLz+CrdMCKx-k1v60N8cJrTKA@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings all!
This is aarush.
I reside in India, and am currently in highschool.
I am going to give my SAT general examination this year, as am planning to
apply for universities in the US.
However, due to lack of experience there are some things I'm unsure about.
So, first thing's first, I always prefer using my computer to give the
paper instead of a scribe. That has just never worked for me, which is
probably due to the fact that I haven't done it in the past except on very
rare occasions. The problem is that most of the people  around here did
indeed use a scribe, which is why I am unable to get guidance from them.
I have explored all the accessible material available on college board's
official site and found it to be very easy to work with but I think it
would just help if i got an account of it from someone who's had a
first-hand experience with giving the paper live, as there could just as
easily be many other different sorts of challenges that I've never heard
of, and I really do not want to take any chances.
I am also not very sure about certain specifics (either they are not super
clear on their sight or i'm overlooking something) and the biggest of them
being answering the questions. I mean we can't really 'circle' the right
option, so what do we do? Do we just write the answers in a separate file,
or can we do it in the file with the questions itself?
I think that mostly sums it all up, just feeling a little nervous as i
don't know how things work from a first-person-perspective. I mean, people
here had many valuable tips but some things were just left hanging because
as i said earlier, nobody I know has taken the test using a computer.
In any case, I would love to know what you guys think!
Regards,
aarush

Hey Aarush,

This may not be as helpful since I took it two years ago during very
different circumstances than today, but I worked with my school
administrator to arrange specific accommodations that would work for me
(i.e. rather than the College Board giving me a list of things I could do,
I outlined and proposed to them what would work best for me and they
approved it). I had access to a computer with JAWS to do scratchwork for
the math/reading sections and for writing in the essay section. For the
multiple choice I had a scribe read me the questions and record my
responses directly into the scantron. Unless College Board is handling
accommodations differently, when you're asking for approval to receive
accommodations, you should be able to propose to them a set of procedures
that works best for you/you'd feel most comfortable with.

Good luck working out the logistics and with the exam when you eventually
take it!

Kindly,
Gene

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

NFB-NEWSLINE® MOBILE 3.0 WITH KNFB READER BASIC RELEASED

_Free iOS App Now Available_ 

The National Federation of the Blind has released version 3.0 of
NFB-NEWSLINE(R) Mobile to the Apple App Store. The brand new, redesigned
app not only allows subscribers to access all of the content available
through NFB-NEWSLINE [2] from their iPhone, iPad, or other iOS device, but
includes a free basic version of the KNFB Reader mobile app. NFB-NEWSLINE
Mobile includes these features and much more: 

 	* KNFB Reader Basic, a free version of KNFB Reader with the core
functions necessary to quickly scan any printed text-just point, shoot, and
read!
 	* The ability to share articles from publications in the breaking news
category to social media channels.
 	* Multiple customization options to organize, save, and manage both
NFB-NEWSLINE content and documents scanned with KNFB Reader Basic.

NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile 3.0 is fully accessible with VoiceOver so that users
can hear content read aloud or read it in Braille with a connected
refreshable Braille display or notetaker, making the app ideal for blind
and deafblind users. 

"We are pleased and proud that NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile 3.0--a technology
solution created by blind people for blind people--is now a one-stop
destination for access to all kinds of information, including printed
text," said Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the
Blind. "Having instant access to the information we need wherever we go
helps all blind and deafblind people live the lives we want." 

David DeNotaris, who participated in beta testing of the app, said: "As a
husband/father, entrepreneur, and elected school board director, access to
print information is crucial! NFB-NEWSLINE provides me with fast, reliable,
and accessible local, state, national and international breaking news and
information at my fingertips! At a recent school board meeting, a document
was distributed in print with updated guidance that needed to be considered
prior to a vote later in the evening. I used my NFB-NEWSLINE app to quickly
and discreetly snap a picture and listen to the document through my
earbuds, take some notes, ask questions, and make an informed decision.
NFB-NEWSLINE helps me stay connected, empowering me to contribute on our
local school board and compete in our global economy, allowing me to fit
in, not sit out. Thank you NFB-NEWSLINE team, you are #DifferenceMakers!"
