    Victorian College for the Deaf - iPad Trial

    http://www.ipadsforeducation.vic.edu.au/ipad-student-trial/9-victorian-college-for-the-deaf


    iPhone/ iPad - Accessibility Options in Settings:

    Settings/ General / Accessibility
    Mono Audio - allows you to channel the audio from both left and right earbuds through both of them so that if you’re someone who has experienced hearing loss in one ear, you can still hear all audio through either earbud.

    Can showcase how to set sound limit on the mobile devices:
    Extended exposure to sounds over 85 decibels can cause hearing damage and your iPad or iPod can produce sounds over 105 decibels! That's why you should limit your exposure to dangerous levels of sound by setting your iPad or iPod Volume Limiter and be aware of how long you listen.

    FaceTime is automatically loaded on all new iOS devices (iPhone 4, iPad 2 and 5th gen iPod touch). Basically any Apple device that has a front facing and rear facing camera. Obviously FaceTime - showing sign language over wireless.
    Available on iPad 2, iPod touch (5th Gen), iPhone 4 and the Mac, now all allow video chat wirelessly - great for JSL users (Japanese Sign language).
    With Macs you can download the FaceTime App onto your computer and then Facetime with another Mac, iPhone or iPod touch.

    The account login through Mac/ iPod touch is your iTunes Account and then it accesses all contacts within your Address Book.
    You can do all this wirelessly, (does not necessarily require 3G or a phone connection).


    Closed Captioning is available on all content that has it available.
    So check some good iTunes content that has Japanese subtitles and show through video, QuickTime and from AppleTV.

    BE AWARE: Flash Issue - Captioning on YouTube won't work on iPad as Flash Product.

    Apps
    Good apps to showcase:
    Special Eduction Apps in iTunes which show apps for sign language apps etc.::
    But one I think will be of most interest is SoundAMP R - it turns the standard ear bud with microphone has a hearing amplifier. Turning your iOS device into a "hidden" hearing aid. You can even change the frequencies it increases, based on their hearing impairment. Excellent app. Basically this discreetly amplifies the sounds around you - turning your iPhone into a hearing aid - with no one even knowing. Great to slight hearing impairment!

    iHearClearly - basically a more simple app than the one above.

    In regards to content around Mac:
    System Preferences/ Universal Access/ Hearing
    Visual Alerts: Replacements system alert sounds with a flash on the screen.
    Closed Captioning: QuickTime Player, iTunes and DVD Player can display closed captioning
    Playback with captions on iPhone, iPod classic, iPod nano (4th generation), iPod touch, and Apple TV.
    Flash Screen: When alerts or error messages require your attention to the computer, whole of screen flashes.

    Then FaceTime and iChat AV for the sign language users.

    iMovie:
    Also show picture in picture in iMovie and ability to have sign language in the corner of content being created.

    Captioning tools (desktop)

    • CapScribe Open is a free a video editor for captioning and description. You can use the CapScribe on your Mac to create captions for Quicktime, YouTube, and Flash videos.
    • MovCaptioner creates and synchronize captions in a number of popular formats.
    • Videocue is a unique rich media presentation toolkit that allows you to write and record your speeches of you reading your words aloud, add movies, images and titles and then easily publish your finished presentation to websites or weblogs.

    Setting a safe volume limit for your iPad or iPod is important because it reduces your risk of developing irreversible Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL).


    Extended exposure to sounds over 85 decibels can cause hearing damage and your iPad or iPod can produce sounds over 105 decibels! That's why you should limit your exposure to dangerous levels of sound by setting your iPad or iPod Volume Limiter and be aware of how long you listen.
