Hello Everyone,

I will be attending graduate school this fall. The access technology center mentioned that some of my books might be available in Epub. I have never used ePub books before. Can someone point me to the best places to find, and learn how to read these kinds of books.

Thanks,

Jeff Lukacsena

I don't know of a single mobile check deposit app that doesn't require the photo to be taken inside the app.  Banking apps value certain aspects of security that other apps do not because they don't have to. They want tight control over image source.
Apps that do edge detection generally are working with fixed cameras, that is, the camera itself cannot move when working with the thing being imaged.  That makes it quite easy, relatively speaking, to do edge detection.  By contrast, phones are handheld and subject to quite a bit of movement, which makes edge detection very difficult if you can't, literally, see what's in the image and stabilize the camera at the same time.
The use of a homemade rig essentially sets up precisely the same thing as a fixed camera and, provided you know where to place the check (or anything else, really, though dedicated rigs come into play based on the page size) you can get a consistent result pretty much each and every time.

It's away for groups to share message, files, have multiple Chats, ETC. You might look at it a little like Microsoft Teams.

Every time I think something works the next day it doesn’t.

I’d love to find people that use Slack with JAWS and find it a good
experience.

Also, to add to what Brian mentioned, with sighted assistance in getting a usable picture of something, if you have an iPhone, you can face time a trusted contact and they can take a picture with your phone's rear camera, and they will have it on their phone, and they can then eMail it to you.
I have done this with my son.
There's probably a way to do this in Android, but I haven't done anything using the camera except be my eyes, and I don't think they have the ability to take a picture, and if they could, I don't think you would want a stranger taking pictures of such things.

Well, yes, as that's how any mobile banking app gets the data necessary to deposit the check and to have the legally required images (when the bank processes the checks normally they're scanned, and images are saved).
When it comes to things like this, it's always easier to enlist sighted assistance, once, to get a "photo rig" set up for your smartphone. I've done this on multiple occasions, and not just for banking apps, so that the phone can be placed on top of the rig (which is usually a small cardboard box, cut into what amounts to a small table with an opening large enough for the smartphone's camera to be able to take photos of items placed "on the floor" (table top or desk top in reality) beneath the rig.  Once set up this tends to work like a charm for as long as the rig remains viable.

Absolutely, assuming the symbol is in the list. It happens that "Euros" is.
As Soronel says, press JAWS key+4 above the letters, then repeatedly
the letter "e" until Euros is verbalized.

I prefer jaws+4 for the rare times I need special characters.

If you need to use the Euro symbol very frequently and you don't
have a keyboard with native support for the symbol, it makes sense
to use a key remapping utility like Microsoft PowerToys (it's one
among the
PowerToys) or SharpKeys to remap some seldom used or never used key
to the Euro Symbol.

It's also possible to generate it using ALT + [Number pad digits]
0128, but for a screen reader user that means quickly toggling on
Num Lock for the number pad which is not only a PITA, but will
almost certainly lead to a mess at some point when it isn't toggled
back off again and you start issuing typical screen reader commands
using the number pad in non-number mode.
