Hello,
I have used Scribe, and it does work well, but it is not free. What I like
about Scribe vs. Scribe for Meetings is that with Scribe, you can access the
information at any time; it belongs to you. With Scribe for Meetings, the
meeting host or professor can limit your access to viewing the powerPoint
during the actual time for the meeting. I prefer listening to the lecturer and
reading the powerPoint in Braille, not necessarily simultaneously. It depends
on the content being shared. I like to have choice.
But opening the PowerPOint in Keynote gives you the option to view it
in an accessible way, and it’s free.
Of course, if your university purchases a site license to Scribe, then
it could, theoretically, make all campus documents accessible for a price.
Anyway, the more tools you have in your toolbox, the more you will be
able to access. Yes, universities are supposed to provide you with accessible
materials and they should; but they can’t provide everything.
Best,
Suzanne
