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! 

Best, 

Tony Sweeney

  Dear all,

  My name is Olivia Kennedy, as Mark Magennis mentioned I am currently trying 
to make the RTE Player accessible with JAWS. 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
