[Nfb-science] Xilinx

[Sauro cesaretti]

Hi all,
I'm Sauro, an italian student of computer science.
It's the first time that I'm posting here.
Alysha,
Unluckily I don't know the software and I don't have it to make some
experiments but if I understood a bit the problem I would advice you to
reassign the class of the control, in this case the text box that is not
totally readable.
In particular, pressing insert+f2, when you are focusing the window, you'll
open the configuration of jaws, after that you should open windoww class
reassign and after you should associate to that control something like
Multilineedit.
What version of jaws are you using?
Let us know if your have other problems or questions.
HTH
Regards, Sauro

John,
In your experience, has any part of this software worked with JAWS? For
instance, it seems to me that it should be a simple matter to enter Verilog
code into a text box, but when I try to do it in Xilinx, JAWS won't read
anything I have typed. I considered typing out my code in another text
editor and then having someone help me paste it into Xilinx, but my
professor thinks that would be much more difficult since I would lose a lot
of the functionality of Xilinx (compiling as you go, checking syntax, etc.).

When you work with a sighted person, do you dictate code to them? I've never
tried doing that before, and I think it sounds a bit difficult.
Also, I know how to go about getting a reader/scribe/lab assistant in
college, but I'm a senior this year, and I'm looking for jobs for next year.

How do you handle situations where you need sighted assistance in the
workplace? I have no idea as to the best way to go about discussing this
with employers, finding a suitable person to work with, and figuring out how
that person is going to get paid in a context other than college. Of course,
it would be ideal for me to get a job where I needed minimal to no sighted
assistance, but I would be interested in hearing anyone's experiences in
this area.

Thanks,
Alysha
