PL] This is dependent on company policy. Many companies do not allow the use of open source software. If you can get away with using NVDA, do that. This is because it does not cost anything and updates are easier to do. In the case of jaws, your employer will need to pay for a license which may be an annual exercise. This would mean that your department would need to budget for it unless there was a fund already in place. Cororate purchase processes take long so updates may be delayed. However, if there is a compliance challenge, get jaws or get a policy exception. You will need to discuss with HR, your reporting manager and perhaps the information security team because they usually handle such challenges. > 2.

Start with your reporting manager and see what he says. If it is an app run by hr, raise it to hr as well. Is there a portal where you can do whatever is needed for employee assistance? The inaccessibility of internal software remains a huge challenge. As long as you can do your work, focus on that but if your work is being hampered, then things are more serious and those can be discussed if you reach that stage. Pranav -- Disclaimer: 1.
