<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Hello Emily,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">One of the students I work with has a DotPad. The student does find it helpful. A few things to note:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">The DotPad primarily works with IOS (iPad and iPhone). Other’s milage may vary, but there are a lot of services at my institution that don’t work on a tablet platform.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">JAWS and NVDA do provide some support for the DotPad, but for text and not graphics. There are probably some advantages in having a multi-line Braille display, but I don’t think
this is clear-cut right now. The Monarch works with JAWS and NVDA similar to the DotPad, so there is some effort to expand the usage of these types of devices.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">The resolution will be similar to using a Braille embosser for creating graphics, since the DotPad, Monarch etc., have essentially the same dot distance as a Braille display.
The one major advantage is that the dynamic devices can be zoomed. The user can view the overall image and then zoom in on various areas of interest. The concept would be similar to using a small screen to view complex images. The larger issue seems to be
that the dots are either up or down. There is no easy way to display greyscale. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">There seem to be four devices in this area: DotPad, Monarch, Graphiti, and Cadence.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">We have recently purchased a Cadence for loan to students. In our case the use cases included: providing the student a way to view graphs the student was required to create
for homeworks, viewing shared drawings, such as CAD technical drawings, groupwork with shared graphics etc. At this time the various devices seem to have different ideas of how they would be used, so we selected a device, based on what things our students
could not do with currently available technology or services. We are researching how a device, such as the Cadence could be used independently by a student. Of course, this will also be important in the work world, where the former-student will be responsible
for being able to consume any graphical information required for the job. <o:p>
