sunpatel··on Ask HN: Paying for University as an undocumented student
if you dont find a way to pay for college...you have a legitimate shot at the DREAM immigration reform..it passed the HOUSE this week but not the senate...its up for revote later next year.

The measure, known as the DREAM Act, would have granted temporary legal status to most illegal immigrants under age 30 who were brought here before age 16, and who have been in the country at least five years. It would have granted a further path to citizenship to those who go on to college or join the U.S. military.

Yes camtasia is a brilliant tool....but we are concentrating on the printable portion...not screencasts.

Captivate is great for power users but we are looking for domain guys that want to create robust instructions without copy/pasting screenshots.

We haven't had a chance to fully test on the mac. But to get the capture dialog to work, try the following:

Enabling Accessibility API

1. Open System Preferences dialog

2. In opened dialog open "Universal Access" settings

3. In the "Universal Access" settings dialog check the "Enable access for assistive devices" option

And then restart the browser and iorad.com

Definitely let me know if this helped the issue and if you are experiencing anything else. You can contact me at spatel iorad.com.

We have not tested on Linux. If the capture button is greyed out, it means the applet hasnt loaded. Hopefully in the near future we add linux support.

There are plenty of screencasting tools out there ie screentoaster.com that do an awesome job.

Our differentiator is in the printable user guide and making tutorials interactive vs watching a mouse move on the screen.

But you are exactly right about the use case, enterprise UX is very complex with tons of different types of "transactions", and copy/pasting screenshots is so painful, thats why everybody avoids it like the plague.

Hey thanks. The name is pronounced i-o-rad....like biorad minus the b:)

Once out of beta, we will do freemium. Maybe charge between $20-$40/month to download doc, ppt, web version and customize logo.

PDF instruction and hosted course (with iorad logo) will be free
