Dear Access India members,
I have received many requests yesterday for the computer literacy course privately from list members who wrote to me by E-mail. Instead of replying to everyone individually, I am sending here publically a link to download an MP3 version of my book. I am grateful to Bhawani Shankar Verma for suggesting the “Text Allowed” software which I used for converting the documents to audio. Please note that while this recording was created using IVona Text to speech, Sally, an American English voice, the quality is not perfectly human like, but I believe it is good enough for understanding the content. Click here to download the Zip file from my Dropbox. <file:///C:/Users/Admin/Documents/Cakewalk> After downloading the Zip file, you may need help to extract all the MP3 files from it, to copy them to some sort of audio player such as a phone, computer or MP3 player, so that someone who never used a computer before can listen to the course as an audio file and follow along. It will help if you show the student how to play and pause, seek back and forwards through the audio file, change to the previous and next audio file, Etc to make their learning experience interactive. Also, ensure the student has NVDA or Jaws installed and working and have the text-to-speech synthesizer at a comfortable listening speed for the student before they get started with this learning program. The course teaches both using Jaws and NVDA, and the student can choose the lessons to listen to depending on the screen-reader where a selection is available. The title of each chapter will tell if the course uses Jaws or NVDA if they are taught separately. If the student will progress to the Microsoft applications like Word and Excel, or to the Browsing the Internet section, then ensure those applications are also installed on the computer. Browsing is trained using Google Chrome, but can also work with Edge and some others. All the best to those wishing to learn via this course.
