Hi, Providing the other party had JAWS you might be able to make a wee bit of sporadic cash. Barry.

I have a friend who is doing something similar. He may be able to give you some idea of how practical the idea is. I can't just volunteer him but I can ask him for you if you'd like. One thing that occurs to me is that it might be worthwhile forming a network of guys like you around the country. Maybe some form of informal business connection could be made with you all sharing leads. I could even imagine you issuing some form of credentials so people would know the person they are hiring actually knows what they are talking about. I would think it would be hard to get blind people to shell out money for technical support under any circumstances. Whatever assurances you could give them that it will be worth the money would probably help. On 11/03/2014 06:50 AM, Josh k wrote:

Hi, I think if you were able to do some wscripting this is a service people would buy. Also perhaps app specific training, for instance, if you were an expert user of Powerpoint or Excel with Jaws. But if it is just very general tech support, might be tough, since people can call Freedom for that.

Providing general support is something that the local dealer will already do at no cost, so you have to really provide something that is not available for free. On 11/4/14, Isaac wrote:

You just "might" be able to provide tech support to those who get Window-Eyes through the Microsoft Office 2010/2013 download agreement, where tech support is not included with the Window-Eyes product. Ai Squared, the makers of Window-Eyes (previously created by GW Micro which merged with Ai Squared) charges for tech support for those customers. That said, they have a pretty active support group where users provide free help all the time. So, I don't think I would put forth the effort to go through all the effort it would take to market your tech support services when your end result would likely be either very little income, if any at all. Now, if you want to become a vender with your state's department of rehab / services for the blind / or whatever your state calls their voc rehab services for the blind as a vender to teach AT, then that might be a possibility. Yet, that takes a lot of work to learn the various AT software programs, marketing yourself, becoming a vender for that agency, and probably the most important thing...being able to teach. Just because you are an expert at AT and computers does not mean you are a good teacher. One of my former employers told me (who I have a great deal of respect for): they have people with BS and Masters degrees, certifications in various AT products, etc. who apply for work there all the time; however, it is rare they ever hire them because they can't teach. They told me they almost rather have someone who can teach but doesn't know AT because they can be taught AT; but you really can't teach someone to teach. Best wishes.
