Hi Alexandra,

Firstly, welcome to the list. I work in a call centre as a charity fund-raiser. We used a system called call scripter which is mostly internet based.

I have encountered several minor problems where Jaws wasn't reading things properly. The company I work for have been extremely supportive and have worked with the makers of call scripter to make the system more accessible for me. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Sam

It is difficult to give a specific answer to this one because call
centres appear in many different types of company and these may use
something that is off the shelf or design their own customer system.
Whichever they use they are likely to require some scripting especially
for users solely relient on speech and not braille as well.  Those in
banks and insurance are usually horrednously large and complex and often
written entirely or partly in-house, and very very occasionally with an
eye on overall accessibility.  In general however it can be done under
the right circumstances.

If you are at a college for the blind then I would make contact with
their specialist careers people and ask them if they know any
organisations where previous students have been successfully placed
using a call centre setup.

Regards.
