not Steve but how many of those who are receiving this exclusive training from
RNIB find themselves at university and in employment? surely as NVDA and Window
Eyes can be installed without additional cost, it would be good to concentrate
on them

Hi Steve.
Let's not forget Zoom Text, Magic and guide, which they also sell, but there
has to come a point at which you ask how many systems out of what is
available can you reasonably expect to be able to support customers with? The
fact is that Supernova and JAWS (and to some extent NVDA) can be found in
schools, universities, workplaces and libraries up and down the country so if
a customer spends time with one system, even a commercial one, it'll probably
be the one they will be faced with if and when they avail themselves of study
or work opportunities. I can't remember the last time I ever heard of anyone
using Window-Eyes at work although it doubtless is.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi,
Well NVDA is free, so RNIB could have that anyway, but I think commercially
they seem tied to JAWS and Supernova. Which is why I say they are not
impartial.
All the best
Steve

Hi,
Impartial? I've never seen Window-Eyes at RNIB. But that's another story.

Hi Jackie.
RNIB sells computers through suppliers like Dolphin and Sight and Sound,
depending on the computer package you choose to buy. They also have
computers which can be demonstrated at the resource centre in Judd Street,
with all the different access technology products preinstalled. If you give
the Technology for Life team a call through the helpline on 03031239999,
demonstrations can be arranged and impartial advice given freely and without
obligation.
All the best, Ibrahim,

Hi Derek
As I posted before, I may have it wrong, and am happy to find out and report
back. But I thought RNIB could provide training on items outwith the shop,
or at least some hands-on prior to purchase.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jackie
I thought RNIB only offers training for products they sell.

As far as I know, RNIB is offering help to anyone regardless of what device
they have, as part of their £5m Online Today funding from the Big Lottery.
If this is not the case, or there is another scheme running that differs
from my information, then I am sure someone will put us right.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

yes but that's crazy, because the person told me that it didn't matter what
type of device so for instance an iPhone or an android phone.

yesterday I met a gentleman who told me he is a volunteer worker
RNIB and 30p trends blind people to use a screen reader is and that this

persons home and carries out this training free of charge. when I asked
about funding for this he said funding came through the lottery fund.
I am
very surprised that this was the first I had ever heard of such training. I
am wondering if there are also trainers who are volunteers and teaching
voice over the mat.
