[humanser] Question about using assistive technology in the workplace

[Osmond Kwan]

Thanks All for the responses. I have a follow-up question regarding
the installation of a screne reader on a company computer. If our case
closed with our VR counselor long ago, who might we talk to about
getting Window-eyes or JAWS in the workplace?

Thanks again,
Osmond
