NALSAR Accessibility Lab and Otter@NALSAR

Dear all,

The SBC Academic Committee has worked with the Library Committee to recently inaugurate the NALSAR Accessibility Lab – which provides students with visual challenges resources to work around with.

The Lab consists of six systems, with 27-inch monitors, i7 systems, PEARL Scanner, Braille Printer, and other infrastructure which is required for such a lab. It also is loaded with software such as JAWS, NVDA and OpenBook which is required for the functions of the lab.

In addition to this, the SBC Academic Committee is also purchasing Otter.ai, for the benefit of the students who have hearing disabilities. Otter.ai, which is a transcribing software, helps the students in getting their lectures down in a textual format – which would assist them in understanding the classes better.

The SBC Academic Committee will notify the release of this through email, and students who are eligible for access to Otter.ai can apply through the same.

Warm Regards,
DGV Rithvik,
Member, SBC Academic Committee,
Member, Library Committee.
