<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#17365D'>Dear ATHENites,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#17365D'>I know that you are all trying
to wind down for the upcoming break – much needed for us all – but
I have a question regarding PeopleSoft. Our counseling department has a
candidate who they are highly interested in hiring but are worried that
PeopleSoft will not be accessible to this person should they hire him/her. The
question comes because this person has extremely limited use of upper
body/hands and normally uses voice-activation to accomplish most computer
related tasks. My first thought was Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I have tried to
use Dragon NaturallySpeaking with PeopleSoft and have been unsuccessful from my
trials. My second thought is some type of Headmouse, puff/sip, onscreen
keyboard or other stick device. Have any of you had any experiences with
PeopleSoft and limited mobility? If so, what devices have you used or
suggested? Thank you for your help! And, Merry Christmas and a Better New Year!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
