We too have a translator for our deaf student. But I will be looking at Mac Dictate in the future for a few things, not lectures though as most people do not lecture with punctuation period.

We have a full-time sign-language interpreter for our deaf student, also. I’d certainly be interested in any technology that could be useful for this, though.

At East Sac we have a full-time person that is with the deaf student all day and signs for the student and Newell-Fonda does the same. Other than the teacher writing out notes every day, I don’t know of any software that would work.

Subject: [info-tech] Note taking for deaf student

Hello all,

We have a deaf student in our High School and are trying to figure out how to get the teachers lecture visually recorded for him everyday. The Special Ed people have tried Dragon Naturally Speaking and wireless Bluetooth headsets and an associate to go along with him. You can imagine how badly that works. How are other districts handling the deaf students? Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,
