Hi,
Wondering if anyone has had any luckc using my math lab, and reading a math book in PDF with jaws? Jaws does not seem to read the numbers correctly, and I find my math lab to be flash.

Jaws and pdf for math are not going to work out. Sorry. I have never used my math lab but I have heard it is not always accessible.

Yeah, I think that might be more trouble than it's worth. I don't know about ocr's converting math books well; is there a disabilities office that can help you convert it effectively?

My Math Lab for the most part is working. The book still trying to figure that out.

I'm in a math class (statistics) this semester, and would like to know what you guys have done for college math. I'd be really happy if I didn't have to get a reader. Are there any easy solutions to this problem? The math book is in pdf, the instructor isn't very verbose in class about what he's drawing on the board, and in less than a week, I'm gonna have to take a test full of pretty graphs and pictures that I have no clue how to handle. The disability services office has never had to deal with a blind student before, so they have no answers for me
I can read the parts of the material that are in text, converting with robo braille and such, but don't know how to read the graphs. Also, how am I to draw these things for assignment and test purposes?
I used to use braille in high school, and am fluent in nemeth. Unfortunately, braille text doesn't exist at the college level, and I don't even have a braille writer anymore. Not like anybody at my college could transcribe braille anyway.
Any advice you have would be great.

do you have a braille note taker? you do need a reader or a tutor at some points my second tutor sam was most helpful he would describe all the graphs to me and how they looked everything else I did on my braillenote.
