[blindlaw] Introduction and hello!

[Timothy Blanchett]

You can download the Jaws training files and that will get you trained on jaws.  As far as reading paper files and books if you have some site a CC TV would be best or if you need speach I would say a scanner with curswiler will work for most anythimg typed. Hope this helps

I learned I had retinitis pigmentosa one year after I graduated from law school, which was a complete surprise, as no one else in my family has it.  Legally blind since last fall, which again was a surprise as I thought I had a good number of years to go before I reached that point.  Trying to figure out how to use and get training for JAWS while maintaining my practice.  Also trying to figure out how to do all the things I ordinarily do in my practice (review paper documents!  Read paper books!) and if it can still be done as efficiently and effectively as before.  Anyone in the same boat or who has been through it before can feel free to reach out though the board or offline.
