Hi Olivia, Welcome. Now the reason I put this out on the list is in case others may have the same question! Most of us I understand work with Jaws so what level of knowledge in Jaws or other such are you looking for? I for example would be reasonabbly fluent but certainly not advanced with Jaws! Perhaps too listers may give out ideas as to how they try to access that player on the list which may make your job just a little easier. Yes certainly put me down as a tester, would be delighted!

I will be conducting user tests on the new RTE player to find out problems with it as it is not yet accessible. I am emailing you in hope of finding volunteers to test the new version of the RTE player using JAWS. Volunteers will be asked to complete a number of tasks, these tasks are designed to use all aspects of the website functionality also volunteers will be recorded so that I can take note of the problems regarding accessibility with the website. I am hoping to get volunteers from either Limerick, Kilkenny, Dublin or any of the surrounding areas as I will have to conduct tests in the volunteers own home. My research will follow best practice with regard to privacy and confidentiality procedures. All recordings will be kept confidential and will not be not distributed to any other parties. Your experiences, feedback and quotes may be used for the purposes of demonstrating and highlighting accessibility issues to RTE. However this information will be entirely anonymous and will not link back to you in any way. The more people that take part in this study, the more problems that I will find with the RTE player to solve, making it more accessible. If you can take part, please email me, kennedyolivia@xxxxxxxxx , if you are not from any of these areas mentioned above but would like to take part in this research, you can email me also as I might be able to get to your location. Once you've emailed me, I'll give you more information and we can work out a suitable date/time etc. Thank you all, I would really appreciate if you volunteer and I hope do my best to make the RTE player accessible, Olivia Kennedy kennedyolivia@xxxxxxxxx
