[blindlaw] Question on Office Tools

[Norman, Gary C. (CMS/OSORA)]

Greetings:

This is to inquire, for purposes of my firm, the accessibility of the tools indicated below, and if they are "accessible" how much of a pain I will find JAWS to be with the same. With JAWS, it is fair to presume it will take large amounts of time to learn them, if not have to script them. Thanks.


Sincerely,
Gary C. Norman, Esq.


Addendum
General Ideas
There are a number of tools I use in my contract and at my work place that might align with your needs. (Again, a consultant with holistic look at your
needs could better access if these options would be a good fit.)

list of 5 items
* Internal Collaboration: Businesses need a way of connecting and communicating internally. My department and contracts use
Google Tools
to manage projects, communicate, and store information. We currently use the free versions, which meet our needs.
* Calling: I use google voice to manage my incoming calls through the internet. It sounds like what you are looking for requires more than one phone line
for one person. I would recommend looking into Voice Over IP (VoIP) services which allow you to route calls to different phones, use virtual voice mail,
and manage lines through physical phones or over the internet. PC Magazine has a
good guide for small businesses
 on VoIP.
* Calendar: Google Calendar is wonderful for my business needs. It works with so many other tools and can be connected. It can also be shared with multiple
people to plan times (e.g. setting up meetings with team members or keeping a common calendar). Google has a nice overview of the
calendar tools and feature.
If you are looking for something like a scheduling or event management tool for clients, you may need to look into a separate paid service with more features
(such as Eventbrite, Schedule Once, and a host of other tools).
