Hi Darrell,
I guess that means another entry in the Blind
Access Journal...
I can see other factors: many people think
that, when a blind person uses JAWS, it is
due to scripts and many think that JAWS
requires scripts in order for blind users to
use their apps. I'm in complete agreement
with Darrell - that there are many software
that works "out of the box" - that is, it
does not require scripts, config files, etc.
Maybe the next move for Patty would be to get
a "sample" of what the application is - that
is, try it and see what happens.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hello Joseph,
On the other hand, we also know that a lot of
software works without special
scripting, or some advanced JAWS users may be
able to perform their own
scripting or just use the application as it
stands. I believe the
employer's response below is, at a minimum,
presumptive and probably
outright discriminatory if pursued to its
ultimate conclusion.

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
