That's terrible. Leave it to the feds to pick the most expensive program
to go with. Aeb ought to be shamed of them selves forgoing along with
this. excuse, WSB. Jeff, I'm surprised they let you use window-eyes at
work. I would thought the people at WSB would tell the IRS there's more
than one screen reader.

Subject: Off topic - U.S Federal Workers using Window-Eyes?
Dear all,
Does anyone on here work for the U.S federal government using
Window-Eyes at work? In many many conversations wih people and
programs that I've attended, it appears that JAWS has a federal
contract with the federal government. I'm not trained with JAWS Screen
Reader, so would like to know your advice on whether its worth my
while to learn JAWS or not for federal employment. I'm just so annoyed
that I was trained with Window-Eyes and its not even used almost
anywhere of employment. Can somebody or anybody give me advice on what
to freakin do. Right now I'm blamed for not knowing JAWS for the IRS
training program, so I couldn't complete it impart cause of it.
This is where the government in my view screws up by picking
losers and winnersx in things. I wish that Window-Eyes and JAWS could
work in the federal government. However, the IRS in particular thinks
that Window-Eyes isn't as powerful as JAWS. I've had two separate
occasions had Window-Eyes through the Small Business Administration
and another internship in D.C. How many freakin screen readers must
we know what should we know or what can we do? I'm so so tired of the
confusing mess of the disorganized Vocational Rehabilitation programs
that they are obviously failures and us students are blamed for it?
Thanks for listening just I want work with my social science degree
just that not even SPSS softwares and other necessary softwares don't
currently work with Window-Eyes or JAWS and there is no clear answers
or standards of what we should know to obtain a job or anything.
Thanks,
Peter
