Hi, E. I think he meant typing. I hadn't offered to transcribe the sessions in real time, though; I was recording the session and just transcribed from it later so that everything would be accurate.

Do you think he means they are too slow at typing and somehow doing medical transcription is work one can do slowly? I am totally blind. Slow doing what one wonders.

confused,

Hi, E. I wasn't at the chat session last week because I was doing a job with a temporary job agency, but the week before, in the chat session on book validation, the topic of chat room accessibility by Bookshare's deaf-blind users was discussed, and I offered to transcribe a summary of that chat session for anyone who wanted one since I was used to doing transcription as a job. This fellow's comment was, "Totally blind people are too slow. They always put blind people in medical transcription jobs. I guess they still do that these days."

Anyway, I'm glad to help, but I certainly don't have to attend the chat room sessions to listen to more of that.

Was the chat room being plagued with a nuisance visitor? I have not been able to attend. I thought there were moderators or something.
