Accessibility for Deaf users

I am a PhD student on a limited time frame to research for my dissertation. I want to be able to use the Logos software but all the videos are presented in verbal format. Where can I find printed material to help be get the most of Logos without having to spend an excessive amount of time searching for it?

I have Logos 9.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

If you're referring to Logos Mobile Ed videos, they come with both videos and the (edited) transcriptions of those videos as two separate resources; for example:

NT101 Introducing New Testament: Its Structure and Story (Videos)
NT101 Introducing New Testament: Its Structure and Story

Try searching for the course number in your Library and opening the resource that doesn't have (Audio), (Video), or (Activities) at the end of the title.

The training videos are not captioned. Any captioning should also be accessible to users of screen readers. Also, all of the material in the training videos refers entirely to visual methods of accessing Logos. There is no up-to-date information regarding how to use Logos with nonvisual methodology except whatever users with disabilities have voluntarily posted here. This is why people keep posting about accessibility. Logos is potentially a powerful research tool for all people--not just because it includes Mobile Ed. Many seminaries are using it in addition to their own courses. But all of the methods Logos uses to teach peoeple how to use the software are inaccessible in addition to the software itself.

I am using Logos 9 Academic Basic. I need to find out how to actually use it but the "getting started" videos are not accessible to Deaf people. Since I need it for my studies, I would really like to learn exactly how to use Logos so that I can use it for my research for my paper.

I also saw something about access to journals. How do I access them, where are they found? How do I write notes with the Logos program? How do I search a topic in all my books that are installed?

The Logos videos on YouTube do have closed captions here: https://www.youtube.com/c/logosbiblesoftware/playlists You should have a book resource in your Logos Library called Logos Help, search for: "Logos Help" to see if that assists. Also checkout https://wiki.logos.com/ Finally there are other YouTube non-official videos such as this series https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeoeRgghzOV4YH768tKg9UbZE58CXmxln Hope that helps.

These are the usual forum avoidance to the problem (well-meaning). Through the years, I've needled Faithlife for their penchant for training 'videos'. I always think of the Saturday Night Live skit, 'Need More Bell!!'. Need more videos!!

I'm certainly not deaf, but 'hard of hearing' might apply. I don't bother with the videos. Fortunately for me, I don't need them either. But many do.

There are also "Verbum 360" official training videos on Youtube that have auto-generated captions. Verbum is Logos with a different 'skin' and a couple tweaks. I haven't compared these videos with the Logos ones; it may be helpful to view both, even just to have some of the same things explained in a slightly different way.

Here is a link to the first of the Verbum 360 ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EEowIVKiWw
