    TEDI 3 Week 3 - Common High Technology Devices
    (2019-06-01) Webster, Jennifer
    In this video, Jennifer Webster discusses the digital assistive technology she uses as a visually-impaired person. She discusses how to use common accessibility features such as free screen readers available on Apple and Android devices, barcode readers and other specialised software that can provide information about items and identify common items like currency, and more sophisticated devices such as handwriting readers. She discusses several paid-for services that can be used on devices as well and the more advanced features they offer users. She demonstrates how to use cradles and stands in conjunctions with some of these tools that can be used to scan physical texts (books, etc) and convert them into screen-readable text.
