Subject: Re: [AI] Regarding Robo Help and Frame Maker
Having previously worked as a technical writer, I very much agree with
Sultana. Besides RoboHelp and Framemaker, technical writers these days use
a
whole host of other tools which are extremely graphical. IT firms these
days hire fewer technical writers, which makes it mandatory for the
technical writer not only to write content but also take care of
screenshots
and graphics. This was a career option which was previously within the
grasp
of a blind person, but has gradually slipped out of reach.

Subject: [AI] Regarding Robo Help and Frame Maker
Hai,
As far as my knowledge is concerned, both Robo Help and Frame Maker are
adobe products used for designing and the creation of images in a
document.
My answers to your questions are as follows:
1.How far the above mentioned tools are relevant for technical writing
especially for getting a job in an I T company.
Answer: They are very much relevant in technical writing where they are
used
for creating and inserting images into a document such as a product guide,
user manual and so on.
2.Where can one learn these tools?Are there any popular institutions
teaching them?
Answer: Any institution offering courses in technical writing would teach
them as part of their curriculum.
3.Can a VIP from the point of accessability learn them?
Answer: Learning the tools mentioned above is certainly challenging for a
vision impaired person as they are not supported by Jaws and that they
deal
with the creation of images. Hence, it is difficult to make a career in
the
field of technical writing even if you have very good writing skills.
However, freelancing could be considered as one option if one could write
technical content without having to use these tools.
Regards,
Sultana
