Seminars at Hadley Presents: Get the Picture
Date: Wednesday, August 12, 2015
Time: 3:00 PM CDT, 20:00 GMT
Do you use your iDevice camera? What can the camera do for blind users? So very much – where do we begin! The camera can be used to detect light, recognize currency, identify objects, and much more. In this seminar, along with numerous apps that make use of the camera, we’ll show you how it can be used as a tool.
Join Seminars at Hadley as we focus on the concepts and skills that can be mastered by blind users to successfully use the camera to take pictures with an iPhone, iPod or iPad. Once the photography basics have been covered, we will discuss eight types of uses for an iPhone's camera.
*	Detecting Light
*	Identifying Currency
*	Detecting Colors
*	Identifying Objects by Recognition
*	Identifying Objects by Scanning Barcodes and QR (Quick Response) Codes
*	Scanning Text
*	Capturing Images to Deposit Checks
*	Video Calling
Strategies for managing photos on your device will also be discussed.
Presenter Judy Dixon, author of the book, “Get the Picture: Viewing the World with the iPhone Camera,” and consumer relations officer with the National Library Service, will discuss iDevice camera use by blind persons to detect, identify, recognize or just to share. Optimal techniques will be described and apps will be demonstrated.
Dawn Turco, Hadley’s senior vice president, will moderate this 60-minute seminar. A question and answer session will be included as part of the hour. 
This seminar is an audio presentation. Space in this seminar is limited. Please only register if you are available to attend so that others are not closed out.

Are you new to using ZoomText? Are you getting the most out of this product? Whether you are running your first ZoomText trial or have been using this product since ZoomText for DOS, you will learn something new by attending this seminar. This seminar will benefit the full vision spectrum, from fully sighted, to totally blind and everyone in between. You don’t have to be a ZoomText user to put the knowledge gained to good use; family members, caregivers and other professionals will walk away with a better understanding of what it is to use the computer with screen enlargement software.
Join Seminars at Hadley as Cathy Gettel, from Ai Squared, provides an overview of the ZoomText Magnifier/Reader. Cathy will cover the User Interface by discussing the tabs and icons. Emphasis will be placed on the various ways to accomplish any task using menus, hotkeys and icons. Delving further into the product, we will find ways in which ZoomText can enhance a user’s productivity. The seminar will finish up by touching on installation, activation and licensing.
