[Pibe-division] Digital Handwriting -change to Text on a computerwith a Tablet and handwriting software

[Dr. Denise M. Robinson]

It really is--solves so many of those last minute board writing problems from the teacher and the blind student sitting there without visual information and that feedback they need. I still have the blind students do the best they can with writing down detail, but the digi memo gives great backup info they can just add to their own notes.

About $120-140 for the board--software around 80
I got mine on Amazon--best deals there--you can just get the board and the software comes with it, so you can try it out. If you like it, you can buy directly from that package instead of buying software separately

>>So I have been using the digimemo for some time now, really trying it out  to see if it is all that. Well, it IS all that. More importantly, I have  figured out how a blind person can use the software all by  themselves.
>>
>>
>>One of the greatest problems for blind students in school is how to get  handwritten notes as the teacher writes them in the front of the room. Now  they can get those notes on a digimemo and can translate them into text that  their talking software will read INDEPENDENTLY. They just hand the writing  tablet to a sighted student who is taking notes for themselves anyway. They  finish the notes, take their copy and hand the pad back to the blind student.  The blind student takes the pad and uses a computer to translate the  handwritten notes into text for themselves.
>>
>>
>>Yes, a para educator can do all this, but it will not make the student  independent and the para educator is not going to graduate and do all this  when for them in college or at their job. Using theDigiMemo and the handwriting software now gives a blind person the  opportunity to get the information they need and translate the handwriting by  themselves using a computer.
>>

>>If you would like to get an idea of how this works, watch this video from  start to finish and be Wowed. Yep, it is that impressive. Translate  Handwriting into Text on a computer with a Tablet and handwriting  software-audio/visual lesson
