| Using PDF books | Paul Nisbet looks at using Adobe Reader to read novels and textbooks, including changing the font size and colours, using switches to turn pages, reading the text with text-to-speech, and using Adobe Reader study tools. |
| Using Microsoft Word to access resources | Paul Nisbet demonstrates useful tools in Word for helping print-disabled readers to access materials, such as changing fonts and colours, the Reading and Web layout, text-to-speech with WordTalk, and recording answers with Voice Notes. |
| Using interactive PDF worksheets and assessment materials | Stuart Aitken shows us how to access interactive PDF resources. A maths Curriculum for Excellence diagnostic assessment from TeeJay can be completed using an on-screen keyboard, and an SQA digital exam paper can be read out by the computer and completed on screen. |
| Using SQA Digital Question Papers | Learners talk about why they are using digital versions of SQA examination question papers. |
| Making audio books | Paul Nisbet demonstrates how to make an audio book using the free Audacity recording software and also how to convert text into audio with the computer's voice. |
| Making 'Intermediate' Files: finding text | A Books for All Intermediate File is a document with structure which can be easily converted into different accessible formats. In this clip Paul finds a free text version of Jekyll and Hyde from Project Gutenberg and opens it in Word ready to be made into an Intermediate file. |
| Making 'Intermediate' Files: improving accessibility | The first stage in making an Intermediate File involves tidying up the formatting. |
| Making 'Intermediate' Files: adding structure | The second stage of the process involves adding structure (chapter headings) by using the Word heading styles. |
| Scanning books 1: scanning to PDF | In this clip Paul Nisbet demonstrates how to scan a colour textbook with Adobe Acrobat Pro, to make a digital version that looks like the original paper copy. |
| Scanning books 2: scanning and editing the text | Here we scan a book into a word processor, so that we can then edit the text in order to create, for example, a Large Print version. |
| Adapting PDFs from publisher 1: combining files | Some publishers can provide you with digital files of the textbook. In this clip Paul Nisbet shows how to combine separate files into a single PDF textbook and add bookmarks for structure. |
| Adapting PDFs from publishers 2: improving accessibility | Some files need the pages cropped. Paul Nisbet demonstrates how this is done, and how the essential copyright statement can be added. |
| Adapting PDFs from publishers 3: security and access settings | To enable access by text-to-speech tools, and to allow pupils to use commenting and study tools, we set the security and access settings of the PDF. |
