>I have a favor to ask.  As you know, we're working on finalizing the
>self-voicing GRE that you tried out in DC.  We need some individuals with
>low vision to try it out for usability.  We have tried earlier prototypes
>with individuals who rely exclusively on synthetic speech to access the
>test.  However, the test includes a visual display with magnification and
>color options.  We'd like to identify some individuals with low vision who
>customarily use a combination of audio AND screen magnification to access
>computer content.  We're interested not only in the visual display itself
>but in how well it works in combination with the speech, since we anticipate
>some test takers who will use both.
>Although participants will not receive scores, we'd prefer that they have at
>least
>2 years of college so that they'll be comfortable with the academic content
>of a grad school admissions test.
>It'd take about half a day, we anticipate.  There is an honorarium.  We'd
>prefer to find at least one or 2 people able to travel to Princeton on a
>weekday for this; of course we'd cover transportation costs.  If that's not
>possible, we will be able to send materials for a few participants to try on
>their own computers.  These participants will then debrief by phone, either
>while they're trying the test or afterward. We'd like the tryouts to be in
>late April if at all possible.
>Can you recommend some people from NJ who'd be qualified? Or perhaps post
>this to the NJ NABS listserv?  Please ask anyone interested to email me:
>Rloew at ets.org.
>Thanks!
