[Nfb-science] Audio books

[Kelly Thornbury]

I've used audio books for math and found it much better than a live reader. If you use an IOS device (iPhone, iPod) and want to use Learning Ally (RFBD) I suggest downloading the app and book to your phone. Navigation and controls are better and more portable than a live reader.

It was recommended to me to use an audio book read by a person, so I got one from Learning Ally.  In the last semester I was trying to use JAWS and some combination of my vision and listening to science and math on the computer.  It did not go well at all.  So I am trying the audio book but I am quickly realizing....This is going to take forever...
