I think that is going to be a list that is going to be hard to get simply because it really isn't always that simple. For example, in Minnesota you could get any of 5 specialist handling your case depending on who your counselor is when the request is made for a technology evaluation. I think most of us would not have a problem recommending Window-Eyes, and our counselors will usually accept whatever recommendation their tech makes. However, there may be one or two of those 5 techs that might more hard to convince to go along with a Window-Eyes recommendation, and a couple of the counselors who will be more likely to try to press customers for Jaws than Window-Eyes. The same is probably the case if someone asks for an Apple.
The good part here is that there is no set rule that you have only one choice. I have seen customers get any of the top four pay for screen readers. But, Window-Eyes and Jaws are probably the top two followed by VoiceOver and System Access. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Peterson To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2011 5:30 AM Subject: States that allow window-eyes Hi all. I am looking in to possibley relocating to another state for civil service employment. California restricts screen reader use to Jaws only. Is this true of all or most states? The state I am focusing on is PA currently and if I could use window-eyes the learning curve would be easier although I am currently trying to learn all the twists and turns of using jaws in case I work in CA. At this point nothing is in stone but I wish someone had a list of states that will allow there workers to use there choice of screen readers or at least window-eyes as an alternative to Jaws if they choose.. Thanks for any helpful information. Mike If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
