Jessica,

I think you should go to the interview, or talk with the gentleman further
by phone to find out whether you can get more information about what you
would be using the program for. I am not familiar with the various uses for
this program at all, but, perhaps it is possible that there is another
program which would accomplish the same end, which would work with Jaws. Do
you see what I mean?

Maybe instead of saying, "I can't do this," you should say, "what possible
alternatives can  I use to accomplish the same end?" Maybe there is a way.

My opinion is you should tell them that way no one's time is waisted, and 
there doesn't have to be undo frusterations, but that's just my opinion.
