In this episode of iCantCU, I continue to share my JAWS training experience. I recount an incident during a practice civil service exam where I encountered difficulties due to inaccessible graphics that JAWS couldn’t read. This raised my concerns about the accessibility of such exams for blind or visually impaired folks. I took a picture of the screen to seek assistance in interpreting the image. You can see the image below. I express frustration about the potential barriers those who want to work in jobs requiring a civil service exam face. I also talk about downloading Reaper and a plugin for it called Osara. I give an update on the NFB of PA website development project. I really enjoy working on web design projects despite encountering occasional challenges.
