Hi Trevor,
I've had to deal with deep freeze for quite a while now. The major problem
that I had was that Dragon NaturallySpeaking did not allow for saving speech
files to an alternative folder/location. I believe that that has changed
with version 6 and 7 DNS.
Kurzweil 3000 saves its users files under the My Documents -- Kurzweil 3000
folders. Our My Documents folder was located on the "thawed" or D:\ drive
so students could save their files. What they could not save were there
user profiles. They would have to go in and set up their profiles each
time, unless, I turned off deep freeze while we set up their profiles. The
same applied to Jaws. ZoomText was pretty much no problem as it was easily
adjusted by the user each time.
It's been awhile since I have worked with deep freeze since our software is
so out of date that we couldn't run it on Windows 2000 and I'm still
awaiting delivery on all of our updated XP compatible (supposedly) Jaws,
ZoomText, Kurzweil 1000, Kurzweil 3000, and Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
One solution would be to run things on the network. Unfortunately, our
network would not support this.
Please let me know if you come across any solutions for the problems that I
mentioned. I still have to work with deep freeze & Windows XP.
Take care, Penny

Hi
My apologies if this question has been asked before (I seem to remember the
topic but cannot find any emails on it). Has anyone used the software "Deep
freeze" in an adaptive technology room before and has it caused any
problems.
Thanks in advance

Hi penny,
Thanks for the reply. I have a feeling from the responses I have had so =
far that Deep Freeze is not for me at this point. I definately don't need =
any more headaches and seeing as we dont really have that much of a =
problem with dodgy downloads I might leave it alone.
Thanks again

Learning Disabilities and Information Technology
Business Benefits of Accessible Information Technology
-------------------
Barrier-free Information Technology provides the kind of overview of
adaptive computer technology that an institution requires in order to
deliver a systematic, institution-wide computer and information technology
system. Supporting computing and especially supporting users with
disabilities demands an integrated approach which includes, computer
staff,
instructional staff, student support, disabled student support,
librarians, ADA officers and other key administrators.
http://easi.cc/workshops/adaptit.htm
Advanced Barrier-free Web Design has been created by EASI for people
designing web pages, who want to keep their pages accessible while using
more advanced web features, and who want to do this without their having
to
become a full-fledged techie. As usual, EASI courses minimize needless
technical jargon. Advanced web features will be shown in two ways. One
way will present the necessary HTML code for those wanting to know it, and
for those hoping to avoid learning HTML, screen shots of designing
advanced
web features using WYSIWYG authoring software will be provided.
http://easi.cc/workshops/advwbsyl.htm
Learning Disabilities and Information Technology deals with the
largest disability category, one which is frequently invisible and
ignored.
"Just try harder" is the usual repromand aimed at this population. Some
of the special software applications designed for other disabilities like
screen magnification, screen reader and voice recognition frequently
assists them. Other software aimed at the general public like calendar
software, organizers, thought organizers, spell checkers and word
prediction all can be useful when a skilled trainer helps them understand
how to use it to meet their individualized needs.

WGBH's National Center for Accessible Media Publishes
"A Developers Guide to Creating Talking Menus for Set-top Boxes and DVDs"
Guidelines Available to Download Free of Charge at
http://ncam.wgbh.org/resources/talkingmenus/
The National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) at Boston public broadcaste=
r
WGBH announces the publication of "A Developer's Guide to Creating Talking
Menus for Set-top Boxes and DVDs." The models and suggestions presented in
these guidelines reflect lessons learned during development of talking menu
prototypes for electronic program guides. Guidelines also reflect WGBH's
experience in actual product development of accessible DVDs in conjunction
WGBH's Interactive division and with the staff of the PBS series AMERICAN
EXPERIENCE. =20
The guidelines are the result of a project, funded by the U.S. Department o=
f
Education, to research and address the barriers for users who are blind or
visually impaired to the growing number of products and services that rely
on navigating on-screen menus via remote controls.
The television set used to be a simple appliance. Its interface was
mechanical-- a few rotary knobs that clicked from position to position,
providing tactile feedback and thus a form of accessibility to users who
could not see. Similarly, users who are blind could load a videotape into =
a
VCR and play a movie by memorizing the functions of a few buttons on the
remote control.
Today, selecting a program or playing a DVD is a far more complex and
interactive experience, one that relies on the ability to navigate through
on-screen menus via one or more remote controls. DVD interfaces present
users with graphics-rich menus that offer many choices-- between chapter
selections of a movie or documentary and a host of bonus materials such as
games, music videos and commentary. Similarly, digital set-top boxes are
the keys to a kingdom of news, entertainment and other services, all at you=
r
fingertips as long as you can view the options of the electronic program
guides (or EPGs) to make your selections.
Blind and visually impaired users must be able to easily track available
program and service options, and accessibility solutions must anticipate ho=
w
users interact with graphic-rich user interfaces. The integration of
accessibility solutions into this expanding collection of media formats wil=
l
offer significant gains to all users in homes, schools, workplaces and on
our travels.
Here are few of the questions developers of talking menus will want to
consider, and which are explored in the publication:
* How should the talking menu behave on startup?
* How should the user enable or disable the audio-navigation system?
* What should the interface do to prevent a user from becoming lost?
* What kind of audio feedback should the interface provide as the user
moves from selection to selection?
* Is the menu system a grid?
* Is the menu system designed to deliver information or make choices to
drive a process?
Chapters such as "Defining the Problem," "Exploring Solutions," "The Art of
Design," "Prompts and Responses: System Concerns for Talking Menus,"
"Speaking of Graphics," "Best Practices for Talking Menus," and separate
how-to sections for developers of set-top boxes and DVDs are included.
"A Developer's Guide to Creating Talking Menus for Set-top Boxes and DVDs"
is available to download at http://ncam.wgbh.org/resources/talkingmenus/. =
A
list of fully accessible DVDs, which include closed captioning for deaf and
hard of hearing users, audio descriptions and talking menus for blind and
visually impaired users, is available at
http://main.wgbh.org/wgbh/pages/mag/resources/accessible-dvds.html
WGBH's work on talking menus grows out of three decades of experience
pioneering and furthering access solutions to mass media for people with
sensory disabilities. WGBH developed captioning for television in the earl=
y
70s, brought audio description (which describes on-screen action, settings,
costumes and character expressions during pauses in dialogue) to television
and videos in the late '80s. Throughout the 90s, these services were
applied and integrated into other forms of mass media, including movie
theaters (via WGBH's "MoPix" technology and service), Web sites (via WGBH's
MAGpie, a free software tool that enables do-it-yourself captioning and
description for digitized media) and classrooms (through projects which
utilize captioning and description to increase literacy levels and foster
inclusiveness for all students). Today, all of WGBH's access initiatives
are gathered in one division, the Media Access Group at WGBH.
Related Projects and Resources:
Access to Digital Television <http://www.dtvaccess.org> - A multi-year
effort to maintain and expand access via captioning and description to
digital television. Work includes participating on industry committees of
the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, the Advanced
Television Systems Committee and the Consumer Electronics Association with
the involvement of major consumer organizations representing people with
disabilities. Funding for these efforts are provided by the Corporate for
Public Broadcasting and the U.S. Department of Education.
Access to Physics Interactive Video Tutor (PIVoT) - A multi-year
collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to design
access interfaces for an online physics course. The resulting guidelines
for creating accessible Web sites and software are now available from NCAM
<http://ncam.wgbh.org/cdrom/guideline/>. Funding was provided by the
Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation and the National Science Foundation.
Access to Rich Media <http://ncam.wgbh.org/richmedia/> - The Access to Rich
Media project is developing captioning and description software tools for
rich media and establishing a Rich Media Accessibility Web site to provide
Web designers, multimedia developers, consumers, and access technology
researchers with a centralized source of information and tools for making
multimedia accessible. Funding is provided by the National Institute on
Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), U.S. Department of
Education.
Beyond the Text <http://ncam.wgbh.org/ebooks/> - NCAM's Beyond the Text
project is researching ways to make multimedia (images, audio and video)
used in e-books accessible to people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind o=
r
visually impaired. Funding is provided by NIDRR, U.S. Department of
Education.=20
