Attention
Research participants wanted for an experiment to evaluate performance of
visually impaired users with web-based applications.
Participate in a single session experiment to study the effects of different
navigation strategies using the screen reader JAWS on performance of blind
users. Participants will perform a set of tasks on web-based applications
using JAWS. The total study time will not exceed 2 hours per participant. We
will have $150 as incentive for each participant who takes part in the
study. We will also pay travel costs of the participants. The study will be
conducted between 1/27/02 to 2/07/02.
It will be conducted at the SAP Labs office in Palo Alto, CA.
To participate in the study you should meet the following requirements:
* Should be a local San Francisco, Bay Area resident
* Should be a blind computer user with JAWS experience (participants
who use JAWS in conjunction with a Braille device will be required to use
the application only with JAWS)
* Should have basic computer applications knowledge
* Should have used the web with JAWS for at least one year
* Should have good English speaking skills
This experiment is part of SAP's commitment to making our products
accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. If you are
available between 1/27/02 to 2/07/02 for a minimum of 2 consecutive hours
and would like to be part of this research, please contact:

This is cool; props to SAP for making this a priority. (This is the
kind of stuff that I tried to do at Reef, but was shot down every
time; alas that Reef turned out to have little commitment to the
idea of accessibility, and little ability to turn out anything more
than simply lip service to capture gullible 508 dollars.)
