[blindlaw] Question regarding accessibility of law firm time entry and document management software

[Nightingale, Noel]

Michael:

My office uses the Hummingbird document management program.  Currently, while the rest of my office uses the Vista operating system, I remain in a dinosaur operating system, Windows 2000, because Office 2007, Vista, JAWS, and the Hummingbird document management program don't work together.  There are bad things about Hummingbird even using Office 2003 and windows 2000 but I have found workarounds that involve using a reader.

Please call me if you wish to discuss further.  You may reach me in Seattle at (206) 607-1632.

Hello Everyone,

 

I am a legally blind second year law student who will be summering this year at a large law firm. I am currently arranging my accommodations at the firm, and I write to ask whether any of you have used the Humming Bird document management program or DTE, a time entry system. If you have used either program, I would appreciate hearing about whether you were able to use these programs with JAWS or some other screen reader.

 

Thank You,

Michael
