Reply to: CAlCULATOR?, HEARING?, ADDRESSING MAIL???
Bill,
Thanks for this information. I will call Humanware today. I did
get in contact with another company which sells a product called
Movi or something like that. It too is a portable reading device
for low vision folks.
I have new question to address to you and the Handicapped digest
people. One of my students is in te engineering program here. He
needs a special scientific calculator to do the work in a couple
courses. His problem is that he can hardly see a lcd calculator's
screen readout. He wants a calculator with largeprint screen with
good contrast; prefers white on black, visa versa.
Did my other query make the network? I sent a query for another
student who is hard of hearing. We have received no mail back on
it. The student had questions concerning the university's getting
a amplified phone system. First they have taken over four months
with the request and at present have not installed anything. He
wanted to know what others have done to get their schools to
accomodate them.
He also had a question regarding classes which mainly rely on
discussions. He lipreads and can only see so many people at once.
He wanted to know what solutions were out there -- like having
people wearing mics while he wears a receiver. All suggestions
were to be mailed to my account -- phillip@hikssrv.lib.purdue.edu
