Ladies and Gentlemen of the Zone.
I require your assistance and expertees.
At work we want to conduct a comparison test of different AT configurations to see how they compare.
We are finishing the process of defining tasks we want the average user to be able to do.
They include, surfing the net, filling in a net form, reading a pdf file, editing a Word like document with an editor (and using a spell checker), sending email, instant messaging, Skyping (though that just requires Skype).
I know what to use on Windows and I have a good idea of most of these on Linux and Mac, but I need someone who uses these from day to day to assist.
Can you please send me a private message and be ok with giving me your email.
It won´t be much work and the study will credit you when it is published (it will be published online and referred, hopefully, by most of the blind tech sites).
I very much appreciate any input you can give, we want to conduct this study in 2 weeks and we are almost ready with the specifications.
Cheers and be well.
-B
