This is a weird request, but I figure the worst I can get for it is silence. I'm totally #blind and have very bad hearing. To set up a device through its inaccessible software, I'm in need of a sighted person for about an hour and a half to two hours who can access a computer remotely, speaks and reads English, and can describe images and graphs. The person needs to be quite patient with follow-up questions, needs to be willing to repeat if needed, as well as be able to click on items and describe what happens on the screen. The person needs to be fairly detail oriented because some of the images appear to have arrows and other ways to expand them, according to the manual. Though I'm happy to be reasonable, I have no clue how much to offer as payment, this is my first request of this kind. I'm posting it because I know we have some blind people here who may be able to point me towards someone who has done this before and may be willing to do it for such a short period. Boosts welcome, indeed, they're appreciated. #hearingimpaired #software #A11Y #accessibility #remote
@techsinger What Timezone are you in? What times do you prefer (local to you)? And when do you need it done by? I may be able to slot in.
@europlus I'm in UTC-4, time is very flexible. I'm not in any great hurry, if I can find a person to put up with this, two or three weeks wouldn't be a problem, perhaps even longer. I just need a plan of the software which I have a feeling I'm going to be using for quite a few years, so speed isn't as important as finding a person who is okay with doing it.
@techsinger ok, sounds doable - I’m currently UTC+10. I’ve done a lot of phone support in the past where I’m saying what is or should be on screen. I’ve done a lot of remote screen control work. I’m tech savvy. I’m used to talking to all levels of tech ability and describing screen elements. I reckon we’ll be a good match. I’m baching it this weekend. I’ll DM suggested times. #LetsDoThis
