Students can request that a computer and scanner, in the open computer labs at SVSU, be equipped with OCR software. This software allows students to scan in syllabi or chapters from books. The text can be saved on the students jump drive. If the student chooses to listen to the materials in the lab, they are responsible for bringing their own headphones. Headsets with longer cords are recommended. The request is good for the entire semester.
