This week, we want to shout out to James Datray for being a JAWS script guru for helping us enable tandem usability of our software with JAWS running in the background! This was a huge hurdle to overcome and was necessary for us in order to move forward with the project.

Furthermore, we reached out to the visually impaired individuals that completed the survey we sent to the DRC (disabilities resources center) and we will begin testing next week to receive feedback on the interface for our software. Currently, the software only implements 12 JAWS shortcuts, so testing might be different than with a fully implemented >300 JAWS shortcut software. However, we mainly just want feedback on what the participants think of the software, if they will use it in the future, and any adjustments that might be needed. This testing scenario would be with a basic website structure, and we will be asking the participants to locate specific elements on the page in two scenarios (with our software and without). We hope to get a lot of feedback and we are looking forward to what they have to say!
