Hi,
I know that the folks who make Quicken have not been interested in
accessibility with JAWS and I assume the same is true for the other
screen readers.
The minute somebody writes scripts to make Quicken usable a newer
model of Quicken comes out and changes everything.
I finally got tired of it and switched to Money Talks program which
is a simple to use check book system and of course it is very
accessible with screen readers.
The American Printing House For The Blind created this program and
distributes it.
I think that if Humanware added such a program to the Braille Note
family they would have to make it very proprietary to the family of products

Hi folks,
I believe that keysoft NEEDS a financial management component like Quicken.
Most sighted people keep a log of their checks. Many keep a budget sheet to
track expenses and expendatures ETC.
Some one is bound to answer this by saying that there's a calculator and a
database program and that this should be enough. I'm not savi enough to do
the leg work to do the math, go from one to the other.
I hope that some one can harness the power of the bn to create an
application where we can simply and easily enter these figures, categorize
them, automatically perform the calculations to let us know how much we are
spending and saving on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis.
It would even be cool if the BN had built in formulas to help us calculate
interest, convert measurements, other simple tasks.
I'm not a math wizzard, I need something to help me do these things. An
economics major a finance expert could probably make a list of the features
we'd need, but I think that if we could just have a BN version of quicken,
we'd be ahead of the game.
I think these things would make our lives much easier.
Thanks for reading!
Rusty
