Re: Converting power point into accessible format
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.

Re: Converting power point into accessible format
Hello, You might try opening the Powerpoint in Keynote, then go to the View menu and go down to View as Outline and select that option. You will be able to read the text, but it may not present some of the non-text materials. I’ve done it previously, and have been told that sometimes it does not provide everything; but it should give you enough information to be able to understand the Powerpoint.
