Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem completing a privacy agreement screen on an HR portal commonly used in job applications

Thanks for your recommendations.

Remember I was doing this for a sighted person, and she also looked at the
form. She is not very Web Savvy. She did not report any hidden check boxes
that appeared to her visually. The instructions on this agreement clearly
indicate to scroll to the bottom of the page before clicking on "I Agree."
Finally, I did get this site to work on two occasions in the past using
Firefox under an earlier build of Jaws 16, and there weren't any check
boxes.

It seems like the developers of this portal designed that page under the
premise that a user would only be clicking the scroll bar to advance down
the page, with no concept that people would be navigating the page like a
virtual document with a screen reader or just using the arrow keys. 

I haven't visited the site yet today but suspect that's the problem.

Thanks for all your responses,

Chris

Don't forget, though, to try JAWS OCR on it - screen, window, or document. 
Or it might help to turn off the virtual cursor, and tab through, see if
there's anything that might be the checkbox you could check or 'click'. I
wonder if WebVisum used with Firefox might be used to get some extra
information from the page.

Shane.



Exactly the kind of recommendation I was afraid of, actually. The third
party platform in question is something that several companies with online
job applications I've come across use; there is no contact information or a
direct way to reach them for tech support. I suspect it's the same way with
your ISP unless you want to go through an overseas call center and have no
one respond to the issue because they don't know the first thing about
assistive technology. I'm sure whoever the person at the counter who took
your cable boxes today got an earful and didn't comprehend half of what you
said.

Unlike your situation though, there is no indication of a check box before
clicking on the "I agree button." You're supposed to scroll to the bottom of
this very comprehensive privacy / terms of service agreement with 12 long
clauses that takes a half an hour to read if you just do a say all in JAWS;
once you reach the bottom, the I agree" and "I do not agree" buttons are
supposed to populate.  The couple of times I finally did get this page to
work, JAWS will recognize the populated buttons correctly as form fields.
Problem is getting the buttons to become enabled / populate in the first
place.



I'm also not sure if it's necessarily a JAWS issue or a problem with the
site recognizing that you've actually read the privacy agreement thoroughly
enough for its satisfaction and giving you the option to except or decline.
My sighted relative is having basically the same problem, but she isn't web
savvy enough to navigate the kind of complex, multi-part forms common in
online job applications nowadays.



I could demonstrate the issue but would have to go into my relatives job
application to do this.

Hi folks,

It was a good approach to try multiple browsers to give Jaws a chance to
work. sometimes that solves it.  I consult with job applicants and companies
on challenges regarding access to employment and commerce . As far as online
job applications go, you have nothing to lose by bringing it to the
organization's attention and requesting a "reasonable accommodation" that
will make it possible for you to apply and test for the position..   

If companies or government entities are not adequately responsive to your
access needs  the US Dept. of Justice recently launched a new online
complaint form, see announcement and link below:

The Department of Justice is pleased to announce that, as of today,
individuals wishing to file ADA complaints with the Department will be able
to fill out the form and submit it completely electronically. Filers will
also immediately receive a "reference number" that can be used whenever
contacting the Department about that complaint. Please visit www.ada.gov

You may be right on the comprehension part. However, I let her hear 
Voiceover on the iPhone and let her watch me pick various items on the 
screen. While not the same, it gave her an idea of how a screen reader 
works. And she said that the software they have in the office is both 
new and a pain. Interesting, isn't it? I pointed out to her that the 
check box thing has been going on for a while now. Interesting thing 
about this is that the other check boxes on the site work fine. It's 
just the one check box at the bottom of the page that has a problem.

Hello all.


I realize I rarely post on the JAWS users list, but I'm helping a family
member apply for online jobs and have run into an issue with one of the 
big
online candidate profile sites that I think could be JAWS related. The 
issue

is with People Answers.


People Answers (http://www.peopleanswers.com) is a Website that companies
use to host online assessments and questionnaires for job candidates. 
When I

log in to the site to begin a job assessment from an employer using this
portal, I'm forwarded to a page asking me to scroll through an agreement 
and

click "I Agree" to except it. When I scroll through the agreement, JAWS
reads, "I Agree button unavailable" and "I do not agree unavailable." The
sighted person I'm working with says the button is grayed out, and she 
can't

click on "I Agree."


I've scrolled through the entire agreement at least three times this 
evening
using Internet Explorer; I also tried this page under Mozilla Firefox 
with

the same result. I've had similar issues with this portal in the past. So
far, I've only gotten this button to populate correctly twice, and both
times it's taken me an hour to scroll through the information on the
agreement multiple times.


The agreement itself consists of two sections: a privacy statement and 
terms
of use. Both have separate links to allow you to open and print the 
privacy

statement and terms of service, then close the page to return to the
application. I've had to open and close the page multiple times to get 
the
"I agree" buttons to populate correctly. This evening, I was unable to do 
so
at all after scrolling to the bottom of the page at least three times 
under
Internet Explorer 11 and once under Mozilla Firefox 40. I'm using JAWS 
16,

build 4350 with a 64-bit PC running Windows 10.


I'd like to know if anyone is familiar with this online job portal and 
has

any solutions to this.


Thanks in advance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem completing a privacy agreement screen on an HR portal commonly used in job applications

2015-08-18 Thread Christopher Sabine, ONH Consulting
HI Steve. When I press F to navigate by form field, JAWS says there are no
more form fields. The form fields only populate when the buttons populate;
if there were a checkbox, JAWS would recognize this as a form field. I would
check the box and tab to the "I agree" button, but this isn't the case.

Chris.

I think there is a checkbox you have to check before the buttons are
available.

Hello all.

 

I realize I rarely post on the JAWS users list, but I'm helping a family
member apply for online jobs and have run into an issue with one of the big
online candidate profile sites that I think could be JAWS related. The issue
is with People Answers.

 

People Answers (http://www.peopleanswers.com) is a Website that companies
use to host online assessments and questionnaires for job candidates. When I
log in to the site to begin a job assessment from an employer using this
portal, I'm forwarded to a page asking me to scroll through an agreement and
click "I Agree" to except it. When I scroll through the agreement, JAWS
reads, "I Agree button unavailable" and "I do not agree unavailable." The
sighted person I'm working with says the button is grayed out, and she can't
click on "I Agree." 

 

I've scrolled through the entire agreement at least three times this evening
using Internet Explorer; I also tried this page under Mozilla Firefox with
the same result. I've had similar issues with this portal in the past. So
far, I've only gotten this button to populate correctly twice, and both
times it's taken me an hour to scroll through the information on the
agreement multiple times.

 

The agreement itself consists of two sections: a privacy statement and terms
of use. Both have separate links to allow you to open and print the privacy
statement and terms of service, then close the page to return to the
application. I've had to open and close the page multiple times to get the
"I agree" buttons to populate correctly. This evening, I was unable to do so
at all after scrolling to the bottom of the page at least three times under
Internet Explorer 11 and once under Mozilla Firefox 40. I'm using JAWS 16,
build 4350 with a 64-bit PC running Windows 10.

 

I'd like to know if anyone is familiar with this online job portal and has
any solutions to this.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Chris.
