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 I have not done this work for blind people but I have done it for elderly people (who can have vision, hearing, and sometimes cognition issues) and would be willing to give it a try.

I am very technically experienced, have experience in technical consulting, customer support, engineering, teaching, etc., and am patient and communicative and collaborative.

Given my relative inexperience I would be happy to do it pro bono as a one off. My normal rate is USD$120/hr to $240/hr sliding scale, for work in technical or activist/advocacy fields, but given the social support nature of this work, I would be willing to reduce the lower end to $60/hr if for some reason pro bono were not acceptable.

I can provide personal and professional references if needed.

@techsinger If you accept this pro bono offer, please edit your original post to state that you found a satisfactory answer and no more ask people to #boost it.
