Hi Don,
Although I am not familiar with the genealogy program you mention, I
am familiar with a program, produced by ancestry, called Family Tree
Maker. I began using the program shortly after retiring two years
ago and, although I haven't labeled the graphics yet, have been quite
successful with many of its numerous features. By definition,
genealogy is a visual process, but Window-Eyes naturally ignores the
tree structure onscreen, but I can tab to various fields and enter
the appropriate data. I have called tech support at ancestry
numerous times and they have been wonderful at describing screen and
reporting issues to me.
I've not tried Family Tree Builder, but feel that you might have a
lot of success by Switching to Family Tree Maker--current version is 2014.
If I can be of any help, or you have more questions, please feel free
to reply to me off-list.

Hi Folks:
Not sure if it is even possible to use it, but, I am using a
programme called family tree builder and or My heritage family tree
builder. A geneoogy piece of software.
I can access the nenu such as file, view, edit, and so on, and yes a
drop window appears, but, alas, not much else I can do.
Sometimes the routing of the mouse to a button works, but, not all
of the time.
Many times speech will say button, but, I don't know what the button
is for.I can use the enter key and yes, the screen changes, but, I
can't tell where I am on the screen.
The background is white and the software has many colours I am told,
but, being total, it does not help.
I have tried full screen and user window and more appears then in
the active window, but, again access is a bug.
I have looked under screen verbosity and I think I have checked what
I need, but, any suggestions would help.
I don't think any screen reader will do better then we and I may
have to live without using the software.
Ok, suggestions, tips as how to read the screen, or settings?
We very seldom lets me down, but, I think this is beyondit's capability.
Cheers
Don
