Subject: Adaptive technology and public awareness
In the name of Allah the gracious clement the grand merciful.
Dear all , peace be upon you , firstly , happy Victoria day for our Canadian
friends , we do wish you indeed a pleasant vacation.
On today's post , I will highlight the major concentrates onto the subject
of adaptive technology and it's public awareness among the societies , we may
begin by asking this simple question:
On average , how widely it is known the adaptive technology in the regular
educational fields and public employment sectors?
To answer accurately this question , we shall in advance identify what the
adaptive technology is , and what it does involve?
Basicly , it is a complete unit of combined tools and utilities to make the
visually impairment candidate more productive and sufficiently adequate to
cope within the commissioned task , usually , a screen reader of your
convenience , as there are so many out there , ranging to compatible digital
scanner shipped within optical character recognition application , whether ,
OCR for short , a refreshable Braille display if preferable , and don't forget
the regular printing machine , so you may print a regular piece of sheet to
your sighted colleagues if necessary.
As this package of facilities might be considered to be costly at some length
, we may redistribute it's common line in the general educational and
employment environments , that demands a well developed promoting campaign ,
well prepared and competent prospects , and ultimately , a general positive
self conscious to officially recognize the visually impairment as effective
members.
The best way to prove that is to show you a demonstration , as there are not
too many , but fortunately , we still have what is enough to share the idea
We have three major videos which focus on three different situations:
Firstly , individual use , and that's detected to someone who is
demonstrating the adaptive technology on his own , he was assessing a popular
screen reader called JAWS , quite famous among the blind computer users , he
was examine it within the open source edition of Microsoft office on a windows
seven platform in particular , let's see shall we?

I actually did not like the comments posted below about the video , quite
negative and frustrating attitude , and that's what we surely dislike as blind
people
Well:
The next video is in focus on educational environment , as he was testing
also with JAWS , an application which is related to management course which is
held in a University:

The last broadcast is to demonstrate an accessible office for the visually
impairment employees , let's have a look:

I think , this is pretty decent to give the idea.
Want you try to move out of the resident care? , which is a catastrophic
conditions in my opinion , how the people will never guess that there is out
something of the sort while kept our talking computers to be used just at home
or state of private residence which is extremely the worst!.
