About this Event
The Assistive Tech Makers Community of Practice is excited to celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day! Join us for an interactive session to explore assistive audio tools for mobile devices. This session will focus on built-in accessibility features for individuals with hearing loss or those who benefit from captioning on both Apple and Android phones. Participants are encouraged to bring their personal devices and headphones to try out the tools in real time.
Jeffrey Ruffing from the Inglis Innovation Center, along with Instructional Technologists from the University Center for Teaching and Learning, will guide participants through step-by-step demonstrations of Live Listen and Sound Amplifier.
*The LiveListen iPhone app requires specific headphones.
Please let us know if you require an accommodation in order to participate in this event. Accommodations may include live captioning, ASL interpreters, and/or captioned media and accessible documents from recorded events. At least 5 days in advance is recommended.
