Hello,
I am wondering if anyone has worked with assistive technologies for visually impaired students? I am asking on behalf of a German faculty member who is working with a visually impaired student. She is wondering about software that does
text-to-voice (and possibly voice to text too). She pointed to Kurzweil 3000 and we confirmed that it does German. But it appears it is $700 for a single license?! It seems expensive.
-
I just wanted to see if anyone has any experience with or ideas about such assistive technologies?
-
Also, at your institution does the language lab/language resource center provide such assistive technologies or do you have a campus unit that provides such accommodation services and technologies for students
with special needs?
Thanks!
