Hi Rusty and others,
Have you checked out Money Talks from APH?
It does much of what Quicken does, but in a totally accessible
way. You can even download your bank statements and reconcile your account.
You can get a demo from the APH web site:

Hi folks,
After some preliminary fiddling and asking questions, it seems that there
may be no truly accessable total financial management program for blind
folks. Quicken is marginally accessible according to some, but I can't even
get it to instal without sighted assistance.
There are some blind friendly computerized check registries, but there is
nothing to automate budgeting. There is nothing to easily monitor savings
and investments ETC.
There is no program, application, or device for the blind that helps you
integrate all of your financial information to get an accurate picture of
your financial situation.
The BrailleNote could be the first to do this if they created, or modified a
program for use on the BN.
Think of it, your BN could keep track of your bills, the growth in your
savings account. It could keep track of how many times you've eaten out in
the last month and tell you whether you are over your entertainment budget.
You could even pay your bills with the program. This is all possible with
many sight friendly computer programs. This is all possible for the blind
now, if you want to traverse many web pages, configure spreadsheets and
enter complex equasions, and if you want to type in large amounts of data.
But, with the powerful calculation abilities in your BN, with the database
ETC, wouldn't it be great if they wrote, for us, an application to keep
track of our personal finances?
Add pass word protection and it'd be safe too!
The BN could be the first!
Rusty
