[rehab] Looking for Blind Person in Broadcasting

[Dick Davis]

Jan,
I believe there is one (or more) blind person currently working for Google
in a decision making capacity.  Maybe they can help.  I'm sorry, but I don't
know the person's name.  Perhaps somebody else on the list does.

I have a client who has a good opportunity to work for a radio 
station as an announcer. They use the Google Radio Automation system 
with a touch screen. The question is, could this be done with a 
keyboard? Our technology person is going out with me to look at this 
situation, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has anyone who is 
totally blind working at a radio station with automated equipment. 
Some other terms given to me were SS 32 and D mark. My client needs 
to do radio announcing, read the news, put in the commercials, or 
start them, not create them, and do some live broadcasting on mike. 
They definitely will hire him if the job could be made accessible.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
