I'm just imagining the employee trying to use voice-recognition software and accidentally ordering a pizza instead of sending an email. Option C is the way to go!

Option C is definitely the best choice here. Screen-reader software is the perfect solution to help the employee continue their work.

Reassignment seems like a last resort. If they’ve been doing well for years, maybe we should focus on solutions that let them keep their current role.

I remember a similar question about assistive technology in class. I think screen-reader software is essential for blind employees, but it might not address the carpal tunnel issue directly.

I'm not sure if eliminating keyboard entry tasks is the best option. It might limit their role too much, but I guess it depends on how much typing they actually do.
