[NABS-L] Question about Accommodations

Hello,
My current university offers OCR and cleaning of that text as needed.
My previous institutions offerd similar services as well.
I think this is a reasonable request.

Subject: [NABS-L] Question about Accommodations

Hello,

I am a freshman in college and have a question about reasonable
accommodations. I am a music student and a lot of the texts I need are not
already available in accessible formats. Students are reading scans from a
variety of textbooks. My inclination is to simply perform OCR on these scans
(I typically use VoiceDream Reader), but I do fear that I will miss some
things this way. I've talked to Disability support, but there only
suggestion is that they could run OCR for me, which doesn't really change
the situation. I'm curious what people would recommend. To be clear, class
readings may come from three different books per class period, so other
students are not expected to get the actual books.

Thank you so much for the help in advance, Julia
