I think you have to be working.  I did the study.  It makes no since if you
have to be working.  You are just testing a software application for
accessibility.

I took the survey, but it said I am not who they are looking for, but to
recommend this to anyone who is a qualified person they are looking for. but
I don't know why I would not be who they are seeking.

 The information below may be of interest to you.

 A research team with GfK User Centric is conducting a number  of usability
studies with individuals who are blind or have low vision  and are
interested  in helping them identify ways in which they can improve
accessibility for  several commonly used software applications.

 The group is looking for individuals in the Chicago area to  potentially
participate in their research to improve the usability of  programs people
use every day.

 Interested participants will need to come to a research  facility in either
downtown Chicago or the Chicago suburb of Oakbrook Terrace  for a one-on-one
interview lasting approximately two hours.  These  interviews will be
conducted throughout September. 

 Participants will be compensated $150 for their time and  will have the
opportunity to influence changes in the way these programs  support
accessibility and universal design for people with  disabilities.

 Interested respondents are invited to provide some  preliminary information
to the research team by filling out an online survey. Those  who qualify
will  be contacted directly with more details and to schedule  interviews.

 The link below goes to the online survey, hosted by Survey  Monkey. The
survey should take about 10 minutes. All responses to the  survey will be
kept confidential by GfK, and only the immediate UX research  team will have
access to them.
