Liberated Youth Initiative - class transcription
Please note that spots are filling up quickly for the Liberated Youth Initiative starting this fall. The Youth Initiative strives to empower students with disabilities through access to a new Speech Recognition transcription system. During the project, participants will be given special user accounts where they will be able to upload recorded lectures and receive speech recognition generated, multimedia transcripts.
Brief application forms for Students, Faculty, and Support Professionals are posted at www.transcribeyourclass.ca. Given the project focus, applications from students with disabilities directly will have priority. Applications from Faculty and Support Professionals provide institutions with the opportunity to reserve an account, given that many prospective students are not accessible over the summer/not yet registered for fall courses.
We encourage you to review the participation criteria on the website, share this message, and apply to participate. Please contact any of our project team for assistance with the application or for more information.
If you're not sure if the program would be valuable to you, feel free to contact dss@usask.ca with questions.
