I have been working in a call center for the last year and a half, I find
that Jaws along with whatever script you may have to use on your particular
program works best, rather than the brail, and scanners or what have you;
the reason being is, the brail and scanners take too much time to use,
everything can be typed into Ms Word, where you can directly take that
information and apply it, time is money no matter the disability; now, you
may have to use a scanner for certain documents and such, but if your
organization can take a few minutes to put your list to call, on MS Word or
data CD, your life will be much easier, especially if you have a "APH,"
Appointments per hour!!
