I have someone who is looking for someone to train her in NVDA who lives in Columbus, GA. She would prefer in-person training but may be willing to do it over the phone—you would have to ask her. She is willing to pay the person.

Thanks.

Betsy

What training does the person want?

As someone who does this sort of tutoring on a regular basis, I cannot begin to say how important the answer to this and the additional question Gene posed is.
Even if the person has never touched a screen reader, if they are already a skilled computer user by sight (or were when they had sight), it's an entirely different ball game than it is when someone is starting from ground zero.
My most recent client is a gentleman in his mid-40s who never touched a computer before, and who still has enough vision to use ZoomText at the moment.  But the challenge of getting him to understand all the computer basics is a far bigger challenge than dealing with ZoomText is, but ZoomText still adds to the overall challenge because you are only seeing part of the entire screen enlarged.  But my central point here is it's really important to know what the scope of training is before one agrees to undertake it.

The woman says she knows how to use a computer but just needs training on using NVDA. If you are interested in contacting her, Brian, please contact me privately and I will give you her contact information.

Thanks.
