You definitely want to get the scripts and install them ... that is most
definitely what a blind person would do, as long as they know about them,
and more and more do.
Are you going to be doing a goms analysis on the use of jaws+scripts with
visual studio and then on your tool? I think even a simple keystroke level
modeling GOMS analysis might be quite telling, and I believe that Card,
Moran and Newell introduced that technique in "The Psychology Of Human
Computer Interaction", which is a book from over 25 years ago. It came out
in 1983 according to some quick googling.
At first, when you mentioned video taping it, I immediately thought of a
cognitive JogThrough as introduced by Rowlands, D.E. and Rhodes, D.G. It, in
my opinion, has a great deal of the benefit without some of the tediousness
of a walk through, and I was wondering if you'll be using a similar
technique? It's extremely time consuming though, even though it's faster
than a walk through.
Regardless, good luck.
Take care,
Sina

Will asks,
> Are you running a quantatative or qualative experiment?
The work I'm doing is a large component of my dissertation and actually
includes a series of experiments and theoretical work. The next experiment
is a little of both. We'll probably video tape folks using our tool for
usability analysis, but take some quantitative measures to make our
statistical analysis easier, I suspect. Some of the previous experiments use
some pretty new theoretical techniques which are somewhat difficult to
classify, and are based on trying to measure a human's comprehension of
audio, which is somewhat tricky.
Some of this is published, although I'm waiting to publish some of the major
experiments until my dissertation is finished.
I can email you one of the latest papers if you want, or if you have IEEE
access, it was presented at ICPC 2007 this year.
