[nfbwatlk] Fwd: Skills Inc contact for accessibility testing

Thu Dec 3 04:17:17 UTC 2015

I have been asked to forward the following request. I know of at least one member who responded to the first email and never heard back from Ms. Gromoff. I have emailed her with the suggestion that, if someone does not meet their criteria, that she at least send them a brief email to that effect.

> Hello Marci-
> David Nichols sent me your contact information and said that you had met briefly at the MS Commons booth. I run our accessibility and usability testing team. Our team consists  of blind and low vision testers. I have a specific request for blind users for 2 small testing contracts to occur Nov 4-11th. Do you have anyone who you would be able recommend or refer? We are looking for folks who have experience using both JAWS and Narrator. Even better if they have mobile device experience, specifically with the Windows Phone or iPhones. Any help or assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
