I’m not sure at this point, but I have my sights set on a local hospital. It’s part of a university, and who knows what specialized programs they use. I know that one program that was common in the medical field is Clinical Information System. At least, it was about 15 years ago.my placement specialist and I are trying to put our best feet forward in terms of applying for work, using LinkedIn as well as other resources. This hospital has indicated that it is in need of people from just about every background.

I'm going to start applying for work opportunities and with that comes of course is demonstrating JAWS, and the touch cursor would be a great feature to demonstrate as well as my Braille display. I can also point out that scripts can be created as needed. Right now, I am just wondering if there is anything I can use as far as programs go when it comes to demonstrating the touch cursor. Like I said in my original post, I haven't been able to do anything except tab there things I had no access to.

> While I don't use it anymore I think I needed the touch cursor with Kaspersky Antivirus as navigating with the tab key was rarely providing me with any speech feedback. However, I admit that when I need to review the screen in the Windows Security Center I find myself using the touch cursor rather than the JAWS cursor. I'm not sure why I started doing this but since the JAWS cursor isn't always available and the touch cursor will pretty much always work I'd rather use what works rather than something which might or might not behave as expected.

> Hi. The touch cursor is something that I often rely on and which I have had good success in using although not with the particular program which you mentioned. Users who only use standard software such as Edge, Word and Outlook likely won't need to rely on the touch cursor that much, if at all.
> However, some programs might not make good use of the PC cursor and some don't offer good keyboard support, at all. Also, sometimes the JAWS cursor doesn't work as expected in later versions of Windows. In cases such as these the touch cursor can make an otherwise inaccessible screen or even an inaccessible app somewhat if not totally accessible.
