As a VR director, how does one get around the issue of landing a job that
has proprietary software and JAWS, nor any other text to speech software,
does not work with it?

Charlene, As a former assistive technology trainer in Florida and state VR
director in Virginia, You might call Freedom Scientific and ask them that
question. I would also contact the local state VR agency for their help
in
testing the software or help in making the software accessible if it is
not.
I also suspect that the local transit company receives federal funds and
must make the job accessible to you, a possible employee.
In my training consulting job, I have gone into possible employment sites
with VR clients and been allowed to either get a copy of the software to
try
or put jaws on one of the business's computer to take the software for a
test drive. I am not suggesting you need to make a lot of noise at this
point in time, but pursue your own interest with the available resources
including the screen reader vender and state resources. This is
particularly
true if you meet the qualifications for the job.
You might also want to check with the company's that make other screen
readers to see if there is any one of these that is accessible with the
product.
Hopefully, the software will work either out of the box or with some
scripting. And Jaws is a powerful program with all the new capabilities of
this product I have used since 1990.
Good luck on the job interview.
John

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Trapeze Booking Software
Hello,
would anyone happen to know if the Trapeze Booking software is accessible
with JFW? I have a job interview with city transit next week for a
scheduling and booking clerk position and that's the software that they
use
for the position. If anyone could let me know ASAP that would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Charlene
