Chronicle of Higher Education Wiseman Note-Taker visually impaired NFB Arizona State University

"August 1, 2011, 5:51 pm By Rachel Wiseman College students with very poor vision have had to struggle to see a blackboard and take notes-basic tasks that can hold some back. Now a team of four students from Arizona State University has designed a system, called Note-Taker, that couples a tablet PC and a video camera, and could be a major advance over the small eyeglass-mounted telescopes that many students have had to rely on. It recently won second place in Microsoft's Imagine Cup technology competition. (...) The result was Note-Taker, which connects a tablet PC (a laptop with a screen you can write on) to a high-resolution video camera. Screen commands get the camera to pan and zoom. The video footage, along with audio, can be played in real time on the tablet and are also saved for later reference. Alongside the video is a space for typed or handwritten notes, which students can jot down using a stylus. That should be helpful in math and science courses, says Mr. Hayden, where students need to copy down graphs, charts, and symbols not readily available on a keyboard. (...) But no tool can replace institutional support, says Chris S. Danielsen, director of public relations for the [NFB]. "The university is always going to have to make sure that whatever technology it uses is accessible to blind and low-vision students," he says. (Arizona State U. has gotten in hot water in the past in just this area.) (...) This entry was posted in Gadgets."

In "(Arizona State U. has gotten In hot water In the past In just this area.)" the words "In the past" are lInked to http://chronicle.com/article/BlInd-Students-Demand-Access/125695/ , about a Spanish work book Inaccessible to blInd students, with a reference to the lawsuit agaInst Arizona State U over the adoption of the KIndle. So classifyIng this post In "Gadgets" is particularly paradoxical: In fact one reason why Arizona State U. was sued over the adoption of the KIndle was that Amazon presented its text-to-speech as a gadget.
