Hi Rick, All the offers I've had for paid scripting work have been to make some specific program or web site accessible.
Unfortunately, some people feel that they've tried to pay for this job to be done in the past, and the scripter required money up front, but didn't deliver (according to reports I've been given from one side of the story). If you are looking to earn money via scripting work, this is where the demand is ... perhaps you could add a timer or something such that the script you deliver will stop working if you aren't paid, and then you agree to not accept payment until the job is done satisfactorily? Perhaps that will make both sides happy ... and then there's the question of who owns the source code, because when you do this kind of work, it's often marketable.

The thing is that there is the MS Calander and related software most folks could use but I don't know how accessible it is. Also, there are other things folks might want to have like some of the programs you scriptors have created ie. News weather and others that are free so I am not sure if there is anything that most general users, not scripters would want to have that they currently don't have or would like something a little more comprehensive but totally accessible. I would be developing in Visual Studio so would have access to some really powerful features like a database and the MS UI controls along with other very powerful tools in case some applications were more complex in nature. But, I would charge of course something and since there would be alow cost I would only build something if there either were enough folks who would pay a little or someone wanted a custom project and willing to pay a little more if it were something I was also interested in like some business software. These would be folks most likely to be on this list since the scripters are likely to already have what they want or have created a down and dirty version of something. As for actual scripting I might consider it but as you know I am not all that interested in creating scripts but it is a possibility if there were something worth while slogging through and I could get the scripts created in Visual Studio so I could also use the managed UIA accessibility components. But that is what I am tossing around in the back of my mind and why I elected this list instead of the scripting list.

Second, I suggest you submit this question, with a bit more clarification, to the scripting list. Many thanks, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+rod_hutton=hotmail....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Rick Thomas via Talk Sent: October 12, 2015 7:17 AM To: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> Subject: Scripts Or Programs Users Willing To Pay A Little For Hi: I was thinking about developing a new Website to do some contract programming and, or, develop some accessible scripts or software. Is there any type of program or scripting most folks would pay a few bucks for if available in a screen reader friendly format? There is already allot of software out there, free, and some of it is pretty accessible so I am not sure there would be anything related to this lists members but thought I would ask since I am considering the options before figuring out if it would be worth while to even get into this field for profit.
