Hi Alicia, This is Reg chiming in from Washington. As others have probably already said, Dropbox is totally the way to go. I have a friend who is blind who has been doing this for a couple of years now. Dropbox is as easy to use as a flash drive, only it’s in the cloud. As you get more clients you can set up shared folders with more friends, every time you do you get more free space. It’s a win win. You just need to download the software and set up an account. If you are using Windows 7, then there is a dropbox folder under your user name. Create new folders as you would normally in Windows, then right click or press the applications key on the folder and down arrow to the dropbox submenu. In there you can send an invitation to share that folder with as many people as you want.
Once he clicks on the link he will receive in an E-mail, and you both have the software on the computer or your iPhone, anything that goes into that folder by copy paste you will both have access too, and it’s free. I know of no better way to collaborate on an ongoing basis with someone. From: Starner, alicia M. Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2014 7:31 PM To: 'Adaptive technology information and support.' Subject: [ATI] drop box service that works with JAWS Hello All, I have recently been doing some contract work for a friend of mine who is a college student working toward his Ph. D. He asked me to transcribe his qualitative interviews from digital format to a printable transcript. I have finished all of his transcripts, and I am now getting ready to start with another student doing the same thing. With my friend it was easy because he is in Sedalia and could bring me a CD with the mp3 recording on it; however, the next client I am working with lives in Seattle and cannot just drive over to my house to drop off a CD. Does anyone have any ideas for drop box type services or file sharing services that I could use to transfer files back and forth that works with JAWS? My client will be sending me mp3 files of 1.5-2 hours of recorded interviews per file for me to transcribe and these files are too large to send by email. I tried in compressed folders and all sorts of ways through email, but they are still to large. Any help for services that are accessible with JAWS and easy to learn would be appreciated. Thanks, Alicia Starner -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ ATI (Adaptive Technology Inc.)
