Hello everyone, Has anybody had any experience using DocuScribe with Window-Eyes? I have applied for, and successfully passed the online testing for a position as a medical transcriptionist with a company called M*Modal. They use a platform called DocuScribe; there is a new version with a different name which I don't recall right now. The blind transcriptionists working for M*Modal must use the previous version as it is apparently not compatible with JAWS. I have just been informed that, although they cannot specifically dictate which third-party software a blind MT uses, their platform has been written for JAWS and their support people, instructors etc., are only familiar with JAwS. So, as it seems right now, they ar reluctant to hire me because I do not use JAWS. Needless to say I have major issues with this. I have contacted one of their instructors, and she does not believe that learning the software with WE would be an issue, but I want to hear of others' experiences first. Any input anybody has would be much appreciated. I am currently using XP and WE 7.5.4. I was planning to upgrade today until I read about all the problems people are having with lockups. Thank you so much, Janet If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
