[nabs] a few questions

[Laura Glowacki]

Hey Rose,

I feel your pain.  I'm actually a visual learner, and I was lucky 
enough to get my disability office to braille all of the chapters 
of my Spanish book that we used in class along with all of the 
workbook material.  I don't think I could've done three years of 
Spanish only using audio materials.  That would've been really 
tough.

Feel free to email if you ever need help with assignments.  I 
have a minor in it.  Though I can't actually speak the language 
with any fluency, I did get top grades on all of my class 
assignments.

Good luck,
Laura

Hey Guys,
Thanks so much! I've been hearing about how I should switch from 
yahoo for awhile but I might finally do it. But I'll try firefox 
and see about setting up outlook too.
Laura, I did mention it to the professor, but we haven't used lab 
for a few weeks so it hasn't come up. I actually have to do some 
assignments on there now, so I'll probably see how that goes and 
then email her and talk to her again tomorrow. I can't really 
email them to her. Although they are in the workbook, but the 
book is still coming in installments from rfdnb and the workbook 
section hasn't come yet. Plus, I'm still getting used to doing 
everything for Spanish through listening hahaha!! Thanks for the 
suggestion, I'm definitely going to google it.
Definitely helpful :)

Rose

I'd also recommend webvisum/firefox and/or outlook as ways of
coping with the captia. I use gmail which is accessible but also
use outlook express as a mail client just because it makes it
much easier and takes much less time to check emails that way.

As far as the Spanish lab thing... you tried copying and pasting
from word and that didn't work? That would've been my
suggestion. Have you asked your professor about it? S/he may be
willing to accept your assignments in email instead of on the
website somehow? Although if they are exercises, that may not be
practical. Perhaps she can assign alternative exercises from the
book? Just a few ideas.

Also, it's not always fruitful, but it may be worth doing a
google search for "using jaws screen reader with spanishlab.com"
etc.

Good luck.

HTH,
Laura

Also consider using an e-mail client like Outlook or Thunderbird
to avoid
webmail.

Hey Rose,
Regarding the Captcha issue, I recommend Firefox and Webvisum.
Firefox is
another web browser. Webvisum is a Firefox add-on that helps
visually
impaired computer users deal with captchas. There is a demo on
the Blind
Cool Tech site.

There's one thing I need to correct. You do not have to set
firefox as your
default browser.
