You should include a discussion of OCR technology, and how relatively
inexpensive and accurate it has become.
Good luck.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] my presentation
I don’t think this is off topic because it has to do with Bookshare and
reading. I am doing a presentation on reading resources for people with
print disabilities. I am in an interdisciplinary training class at Utah
State University. The idea is to teach people going into professions like
special education and social work how to work with disabled people. I was
asked to be in the class because I am a parent of disabled kids, and I am
blind myself. The students were all given the opportunity to speak on
projects that they were involved in that the class might be interested in. I
realized that a lot of the professionals we work with seem to be totally
clueless about what resources are available for us to take advantage of the
printed word. I started out just wanting to talk about Bookshare, but I
decided to talk about other resources that would fit different groups of
people. I am going to talk about NLS, RFB&D, and Newsline, in addition to
Bookshare. I will probably be doing this presentation in the next month. I
just wanted to tell you all that I am doing this, and possibly get you guys
to give me any input. Thanks.
