W3C WAI invites feedback on a new resource:
How to Make Presentations Accessible to

All

This new resource helps you make presentations, talks, meetings, and training accessible to all of your potential

audience, including people with disabilities and others.

It covers planning, preparing slides, providing accessible material, considerations during your session, and

more. It also mentions some of the many benefits of inclusive presentations.

WAI encourages you to use this draft resource, and let us know how it works for you and how we can improve it.

For example, we are considering making the information under the headings expandable and collapsible.

Make Your Presentations

Accessible to All

This resource was developed by the Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) as part of its Training Resource

Suite, which is being updated as part of the WAI-AGE Project.

WAI-AGE is a European Commission IST Specific Support Action, with the goal of increasing accessibility of the

Web for older people as well as for people with disabilities.

WAI-AGE is introduced at:

The PEARL is sure to be a hit with blind and low vision students and professionals everywhere, the product combines

the new PEARL portable reading camera
and the latest release of Freedom Scientific’s popular OpenBook® software. The PEARL camera deploys in seconds to

connect to a PC, and users simply press
a keystroke to snap a picture and hear their documents read back to them with synthesized speech while they control

the reading rate and voice. OpenBook
lets them select from the Eloquence synthesizer or one of the human-sounding voices from RealSpeak Solo Direct®.

Capturing text images is faster than ever before. The PEARL camera has an automatic mode that senses motion, so it

knows to snap an image whenever a page
is turned. Place a paperback novel sideways and the PEARL will snap two pages at a time and maintain the pagination.

For larger books, capture the even
pages first, and then flip the book over to capture the odd pages. Keep turning the pages while OpenBook reads to

you, capturing up to 20 pages of a bound
book per minute.

Use the PEARL to read books, newspapers, magazines, and bills. OpenBook identifies columns and places them in

logical reading order. Change the language
setting to read foreign language documents with native speaker voices. Once a page has been captured, OpenBook gives

low vision users multiple options for viewing the information. They can display the text so that it wraps on the

screen, enlarge the font, change the font style, change the foreground and
background colors, and have the individual words spotlighted as they are spoken.

The PEARL can also be used as a video magnifier showing a live image of your document on your PC. Navigate with the

virtual XY table from the keyboard.
Even write under the camera in a magnified view. The PEARL works in most room lighting. If the room is dark, simply

turn on the built-in LED lighting.

"The PEARL is the ultimate in portable scanning and reading. The camera sets up in seconds to provide a stable

platform with alignment features to ensure
you capture a good image every time," said Brad Davis, Vice President of Hardware Product Management for Freedom

Scientific. "Because it works with OpenBook
9, users will have all the features and ease of use that OpenBook provides. You can edit documents in split view,

add comments and highlighting, and even
export them to other applications like Microsoft Word. Now, the PEARL camera adds lightning fast OCR for real-time

reading. When you are ready to move on, fold the PEARL into a compact package and zip it into its protective

neoprene case. Carry it by its shoulder strap or slip it into your briefcase or backpack."
