Ah yes: but are all these blind people suited to employment. VFO has blind people on staff, and like any business - it can only employ a finite number of people
GW Micro employed blind people. I remember the flair brought to training by the late Clarence Wayley. (apologise if last name is not correct) and we had frequent input from Jeremy. The real requirement in this industry is the right people with the right skills. I am sure that VFO believes that its staff are the right people with the right skills. Based solely on the moaning I've seen of late, some of you moaners would not be the right people with the right skills. But - perhaps yo deserve a chance. So: cold call; submit proposals; maybe get out and enjoy life.

If I have a problem with Verizon I can call them 24/7, granted they know nothing about screen readers. There are plenty of blind people out there who are not working who could be hired by these screen readers and work from home helping when you call for tech support. If vfo gave 24/7 tech support and you had pay to get it I would be willing to get it -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dennis Long via Talk Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2017 6:22 AM To: [email protected]; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' <[email protected]> Cc: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' <[email protected]> Subject: RE: whole migrating situation Richard you already say you have no time to read books or listen to tutorials Where will you have time for one on one training that you will be paying for? If you got it for free how many hours do you think your entitled to? -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Farley via Talk Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2017 6:11 AM To: 'richard kurlander'; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List'; 'Raul A. Gallegos' Subject: RE: whole migrating situation Richard, Let's move away from the screen reader aspect here slightly. What you are really asking for is for some hands on training on a new purchase to be provided as part of the purchase price. It certainly cannot be provided at any cost to the company employing the trainer. Would you, in fact, be prepared to pay the enhanced rate? Remember, some might not. In which case there would need to be a two, or more, tiered pricing structure. In the final analysis you should remember that there is no such thing as a free lunch; it is paid for by somebody.

Gallegos; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: whole migrating situation you used to work for we I feel as a blind person that tech support in these companies should give hands on training for free not just say read a manual or listen to tutorials. that doesn't work for me. I learn better with hands on. I work all day and certainly do not have the time to read manuals or listen to tutorials. If I switch to jaws I have sma's from we that will be switched over if I get another screen reader I would have to pay money. is there a list of screen reader companies in the us?At 03:06 PM 5/16/2017, you wrote: >Hi, this is not true.
