[IL-Talk] Fwd: [Nfbnet-members-list] $250 compensation to test the accessibility of accounting tables

Tue Sep 22 16:10:38 UTC 2020

I'm glad blind people are pursuing accounting as a career. The more diversity we represent in the work world, the better this is for everyone. I could certainly not do accounting. Math was my worst subject in school. Many frustrating hours doing long division on Braille paper, complicated numeric calculations using an abacus, and cutting my fingers when drawing with a compass to complete geometry assignments.

To any students who are proficient with screen-readers, this seems to me a good chance to help improve accounting software accessibility.
In my experience, I had a very hard time doing accounting homework and I would love for future students to have a better time. I'm not sure, though, how this would affect the unique interfaces that colleges use (if not an accounting application).
