We have installed it on a spare movable computer. The software is free
but it cost about $2,000 for the voice box. That cost was picked up by
the handicap office. ( Therer was a major debate on who was to pay for
the $40.00 cart, The math deoartment, handicap office or computer
services.)
We do not have anyone in need of the computer this quarter, so none of
us has worked with it.
The Oregon State people are ver helpful. If you have any further
questions, please contact me by your favorite method

Help !!!
I do not mean to interrupt your lottery discussion but I really need
your help
. Chances are that I will have a visually challenged student in my
college alge
bra class next fall. I will be using a graphing calculator extensively.
However
this student cannot see the keys on the calculator, the screen on the
calculat
or or the projection from the viewscreen. Many of the activities in the
class a
re of an investigative nature so the students need to be able to test
their ide
as. This makes it very hard to work with a "notetaker". My future
student can s
ee what is written on the viewscreen if he holds it at a specific angle
and tap
es a piece of white cardboard on the back. I am sure one or more of you
are/hav
e been in my situation. What kind of technology is out there? Where can
I get i
t from? and how much does it cost ? and where would that money come
from?
Thank you for your time and have a great day. ER
