Hi, When I was a VP at FS, I used brailled index cards with pushpins and yarn on a bulletin board. Then we kind of got MS Project working with JAWS (a project FS has orphaned since) which, if one is good in tree views and writing Project macros and filters, a blink could actually manage a project. One of my personal drivers with JAWS was to support programs people would need if they wanted to get a promotion at their job. Sadly, the concentration on that small part of our budget has been removed and I'm not sure what screen access tools on what platforms provide access to high level professional programs but, sadly again, I'd bet it is still JAWS whose quality in these areas and keeping up with new releases has deteriorated over the five years since I left.
ViewPlus does have a very cool way to use Visio with its embossers and a tablet. This is expensive, uses a ton of paper but provides what I think is the only real solution for complex charts and graphs in an accessible. If Apple gets haptic (tactile) feedback on its upcoming tablet, someone could probably make a charting program just for us blinks that can read/write files that the mainstream products can use which would be the balls. I can even envision a solution for people who are deaf- blind which should get me a prize or something. Sorry for beating on FS atop this message. While I have very personal reasons for battling with them they do produce JAWS, which, with all of its faults, does provide access to far more programs and types of programs of any screen reader out there. I'm told their hardware is really good and I can testify to the fact that the people working on these products at the engineering level really care about their outcomes.
