Hey Lisa!
Maybe a VoiceNote would help. You can search for them on Google.
You can get one with a QWERTY keyboard and without a braille display I
believe.
This would allow you to safely document information on a device no one else
can a¢cess.
It also has a database manager that you can use to create your own database
of contacts, forms Etc.
In regards to the Pen-Friend someone mentioned earlier that could be very
useful to you. You make audio labels with it so you could put those on the
outside of folders, binders Etc. You can also change the audio on the
label at any time.
Hope this helps.
God Bless,
Christina

I wish I could say I am proficient enough to justify the request to
Department of rehab but I'm being perfectly honest I am not that proficient
in Braille

If you had a notetaker with a Braille keyboard, no one could access your
information. If you had Braille and speech on it, then you could decide
when to use Braille and when to use speech. Could you get help from rehab
for this type of device?

Yasmin,
You hit the nail on the head; confidentiality is the reason for ridgid
standards. The question is, how do I as a blind professional use
alternative methods and still maintain the employer's work standards?
You're right about using a cell phone. Also, there's no way to organize
and format information when using the cell phone.
Last night I watched 60 Minutes. There was a segment dedicated to hacking
into smart devices.
Jon a different note, there was also a segment about mentally ill
prisoners and the horrific abuses that goes on in prisons; especially
Ryker's Island.
From,
Lisa

All I said was to get the forms filled out, and have the individuals who
want further contact to come tell her so she can write it down in the notes
app on the phone.
How would you then propose to do so?
Do you have a suggestion Yasmin?

Hi everyone,
I believe it has to do with confidentiality. Also, if one is not allowed
to take the laptop to a community event, how one will use a cell phone.
Unless one has unlimited data plan and other such resources, I would not
use my cell phone.
Technology is helpful, but do not depend on it. People still like to use
paper and pen, that is why, the organization wants the forms to be
completed.

Just curious, what is the rationale for not allowing her thumb drives?
Could you save stuff on an external drive?

Hi All,
I'm pretty excited to share that my employer purchased JAWS.
I'm a bit
nervous that, for the most part, I've been left out of the loop.
I've
done my best to provide resources and support. I hope to tell you
sometime next week that all is well with JAWS on the workplace desktop.
I've learned a little bit more about some of my job responsibilities and,
of course, that brings up additional questions. Here are my questions. I
apologize if they're not clear.
At this point I will not have the option to take a company laptop into
the community and I'm not supposed to use my personal laptop for work
purposes.
This poses challenges at a number of levels. One concern I have has to
do with paperwork that I pass out to participants at the end of a meeting.
The group is asked to fill out the form. I'm supposed to collect the
completed forms; take them back to the office; look over the form to see
if any participant has requested information or phone contact. I'm also
supposed to do something with tallying information I'm supposed to
photocopy each form and put it into a particular hard-copy file.. I'm not
too clear about that task. I don't know how to pull all of this together
and do my job without a laptop.
Ideas?
I know that JD and others shared how they organize resources.
I'm
still a little lost. I've got a bag of print brochures; flyers and other
papers that I've collected at a couple of resource fairs and at Earth Day.
I understand that I can use the Pearl Camera to scan each item. I don't
know how to organize the information from that point. I don't know how
I'm supposed to retrieve a resource without the use of a laptop. Ideas?
Last week I was tasked with finding faith-based organizations.
I
worked from home; used the internet and tried editing some of the lists I
found.
Subsequently while at work, and without internet access, I used my cell
phone to get phone numbers for some of the places; there's over
500 places of worship listed. At work I've called some of these places
to introduce faith-based leaders and their members to our organization
and our approach to living with a mental health challenge; wellness
education and other tools as defined by the participant, including meaning
and purpose/spirituality.
Some of these organizations asked to have information emailed.
I've
got their email information and it's not well organized. For example, I
have a list of places of faith that begins with the letter "A".
There's probably 30 places. I've started to create headings; that's
tedious and maybe not the most effective way to list these places.
I've been inserting phone numbers and email addresses into a word
document. There's got to be a more effective way to do all of this.
What
is it?
I've been permitted to use my laptop and work from home for the past few
weeks. Now I have saved work emails; the faith-based project and a few
resources. I don't know how to finish the faith-based project if I can't
transfer it from my laptop to the company's desktop. (We can't use thumb
drives).
Thanks so much to JD, Carli and so many of you for doing a little hand-
holding and sharing tips-n-tricks.
From,
Lisa Irving
