Typing program for blind students
Hello all, I am looking for a typing program to use with blind students on the Mac. I am wanting something like the Talking Typing Teacher or Talking Typer from APH. If anyone knows of a program like this or a good typing program that works well with VO please let me know. I really appreciate your help!

Re: Typing program for blind students
I don't know of one, but maybe someone can make it. Can you describe the features it would need? I've never used a typing teaching program at all, so would have no idea what to even look for. If nothing else, a feature set would tell me how difficult it might be to create.

Re: Typing program for blind students
Okay, anyone interested, please tell me what this app should have. Is it a matching thing, where the app tells you to press a key and you have to press it within a set time? Is it some kind of game? I've not used one, but if it is simple enough, maybe I can put one together. No promises at this point, but I need somewhere to start.

Re: Typing program for blind students
Hey Alex, It would be nice it it was a game that walked you through learning to type. First talking about the home row and then moving forward from there. It would be nice if it could give you timings of how fast you typed after each level and how many errors you made. I think that this would be very popular as many schools are now installing Macs in their computer labs and classrooms. We have several programs for Windows but none that I know of for the Mac. Thanks so much! Jeremiah On Tuesday, May 27, 2014 10:32:22 AM UTC-5, Alex Hall wrote: Okay, anyone interested, please tell me what this app should have.

Re: Typing program for blind students
Hi, Jeremiah. There's a program for the PC that's very fun and interactive called Typeability. Kids and adults really love it! My mom and step father David Pinto have a company called Yes Accessible that sells the typing program. You can visit their website at www.yesaccessible.com to get more info about it. They will be creating a version of this for the Mac soon.

Re: Typing program for blind students
I assume that these instructions are in the form of audio or synthesized speech, rather than text? Do these programs do anything other than tell you where the keys are and have you press them?

Re: Typing program for blind students
Thanks Katie for jogging my memory. I got the first part, but not the last. This app was recommended by another AT trainer here in CA. The app is being used throughout lower and higher education. I'm glad to hear that a Mac version will be released soon. The developer previously was employed with Dancing Dots. Just some FYI.

Hi, Eileen. I know it would be great if Yes Accessible had a Mac version of Typeability now. David would like to work on it, but he doesn't know how to program for the Mac. I think the only thing they need is a developer. They're looking for someone that knows how to create apps with Voiceover.

Re: Typing program for blind students
Hi, alex, Basically, a program like this would introduce various sets of letters as you go from lesson to lesson. Then it would verbally tell you what to type, along with a magnified command for those with low vision. It would buzz and not let you proceed until you got it right. It would include some games, such as typing dictation or typing letters faster and faster as they appeared. Hth, teresa Visualize whirled peas.

Katie, I have emailed them, thanks. Teresa, that does make sense. It seems reasonably simple to make, though seems is the operative word.

Re: Typing program for blind students
Ah yes, be careful. LOL It might be fun, though. I taught lots of people to type with the help of Talking Typer, so these are very useful applications. I've even played the games on them myself from time to time. So I'd definitely get one for the Mac to practice with myself. The tag line in this email comes from something i blurted out to a student when he was going nowhere by typing too fast in Talking Typer. We both laughed a over it. :) Teresa Slow down; you'll get there faster. On May 27, 2014, at 10:58 AM, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com wrote: Katie, I have emailed them, thanks.
