Jerry,
If this is not an independent home based business, then the real question
would be to find a potential employer and ask what they use and then see if
that is compatible. It won't matter how compatible AppleBasket or whatever
(made up) if the company does not use it. They may even use a custom
software that only checking it out will tell you for sure. I've had the you
can do this to then learn that while I could do something, it is not
practical. So, talk to employers. Also, if employers don't believe in you,
then it won't matter how accessible the software is. The only way I got a
job was to first have an employer who said this will work because we will
make it work. When that Personnel Manager left the company for a much better
job, my life became more and more difficult because no Management person was
wanting to make it work.

I do know that there is, here in Houston, The lighthouse for the blind and
they have a transcription department. I can try to find out what version of
JAWS they use and what other software is used. But as I said, this is not
an independant home baswed business. Jerry

Jacques,
Have you contacted Freedom Scientific about this question? This might be a
good place to start since they may know of a program that works well or
even one that will not. The bigger issue is going to be what do employers
use or if you are going to set up your own practice, what format you will
be able to get material in for transcription and which formats are
required by doctors. It won't help you at all if the program works with
Jaws but is not compatible with your market. Now that medical records are
moving to digital files, compatibility is very important. If you plan to
make paper copies, I suspect you are looking at a dead end career with a
somewhat short lifespan. Some documents will always need paper copies but
even then, doctors will want that digital file for the patient record.

Hello listers,
I am looking for an accessible medical transcription computer program that
can be used with jaws; does anyone know of such a program. Maybe someone
out there knows a blind medical transcriber and could find out for me what
accessible medical trascription computer program they are using and with
which jaws program. Perhaps, someone could then relay me the information.
That would be great.
I would need this info if I am going to possibly pursue a career in
medical transcription.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Take care,
Jacques
