I'm going to check them out too. I've been pretty busy but this stuff is important to me and should be followed up on.

If it were me, and I'm glad it isn't, I'd be asking how the employer
knows the software won't work with JAWS.
It does sound like you were getting the brush-off.
It's up to you if and how you want to persue this.

Hi Patty, Jennifer and list,
Well, here's the explanation of what
"scripting" means:
JAWS scripting means creating what's called scripts for an application
so that JAWS can effectively work with it.  It is like a little program
on behalf of JAWS.  It gathers information displayed on the program's
screen and tells JAWS what to do.
I think the response should not be treated as dismissal, but more
towards unavailability of JAWS to work with the software in question.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi Patty,



While I don't have an answer to your

question, I wanted to just say that I find this very strange.  Not too
long ago, there was an article I read in the newspaper about this
company.  They are based in Arizona, and the article said that they
cater to disabled workers.  The man in the article was blind, and he
worked for this company.  I don't understand why you received that
response.

 Hi Everyone.



 I don't think this is the right venue for

my question/request but I'm going to post the question anyway in the
hopes that someone can point me in the right direction.


 I have been looking for a job and came

across this company called Arise (Arise.com), a home-based customer
service type company.
I haven't even finished the admissions
process and they have already dismissed me.
The response I got was as follows:


 Thank you for your email.  Right now we do

not have any applications scripted for Jaws.
If one becomes available I will be glad to let you know.


 Best Regards,
 Regine Janvier



 Admissions Specialist



 Can anyone tell me what scripting is and

how complicated it might be to get a company like Arise to do this?

  If anyone can point me in the right

direction, I would appreciate it.



 Sincerely,



 Patty Davis
