New versions of Logger <i>Pro<\/i> have several features that will help blind or low-vision students take sensor readings. These options are accessed on the File\/Accessibility menu item.

Independence Science has been working with us for several years on ways to make data collection accessible for blind and low-vision students. Now, they have added speech to the LabQuest 2. The Talking LabQuest2 will now announce sensor measurements and read off data from its data table. An accessible, periodic table is also included on the Talking LabQuest 2.
