Dragon Blue Cabinet Laptops

We have several laptops with Dragon (Speech Recognition software) and other AT software. The laptops are not AT computers but are installed with a selection of AT software: Dragon, MindView, MindGenius, Inspiration and Texthelp Read & Write. You can also borrow the Glean Notetaking app and access it via a web browser.

Laptops are available for loan through our self-service facility for up to 3 hours. When you return the laptop, ensure to connect it to the charger. If a Laptop is not fully connected to the power cable and the locker door is fully locked, the Laptop will remain on your account and fines will be applied as this prevents other students from borrowing it.

• EquatIO

Access via the web:
