Rick,

Thanks for the link.  The manual is quite detailed.  Lots of reading, but it is all there.

I installed the demo version and am working through the process.  Is there an email support group for Money Talks?

Mario

APH offers Money Talks as a free trial download.

Here is a link to download as well as a overview and manual.

Rick

http://tech.aph.org/mt_info.htm

I will give Money Talk a try.    I just did not want to do a trial and error search for accounting packages.

I have also tried Quicken Deluxe, various version with no success. Speaking to Freedom Scientific, the only option that they gave me was Cash Manager.      I will report back to the group with my results.

Thanks you all for your input.

Mario

Afternoon,

I used Quicken successfully for years. I had lost my install and purchased the newest version that turn out to be an accessibility nightmare.

In looking about, what I ended up doing was purchasing Money Talks the APH product that self-voices or works with JAWS, but have not tried it with NVDA, but will and report back. To be honest, since I made that purchase I have not given it the time I should. However it does allow for download of bank account information and lets one do basic checkbook and savings account management.

Your note made me think to look at Quick Books accessibility and the search turned up an older article at AFB’s Access World. The link is at:

http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pubnew.asp?DocID=aw150502

It was promising but dated 2014. It mentioned the joint work done by Intuit and  Blind Spot . Reference to Blind Spot is at:

Clearly Quick Books is more than I need and its pricey.  At the Blind Spot I went to their store to see about the scripts and training materials

You can purchase the following there.

QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2018, My Blind Spot JAWS scripts for Quickbooks, and Support Materials

$525.00

Under FAQs I found:

14) Where can I get the NVDA version of the scripts?

NVDA QuickBooks Accessibility Initiative

Seems a lot to keep my checking account balanced.

if you're looking to try something different, I've heard the best
uninstaller is call geek uninstaller. You can get this uninstaller at
www.geekuninstaller.com

When you down load the file it will come in a zip folder so you don't
have to install this because it's portable. just use 7zip to
uncompressed it and start using it.

it is also compatible with all screen readers and versions of Windows.

Hi,



Can anyone recommend a good uninstall program? I know windows has one,
but as far as I am aware the standard windows uninstaller tends to
leave parts of files on your PC. I used to use Revo uninstall which
uninstalls programs but then scans for left over traces of the program
and then removes those two, but it looks like this doesn't work with
jaws, so I was just wondering if anyone's has any alternative
suggestions which work well with jaws?

also, if you want your computer to be fast, the best and easiest way to do this, is install a solid state drive.

When i became blind at 5, i had a very bad school life where i was bullied! So, this made me very insecure and unconfident.

When that was put out on the list, it really upset me, and has destroyed any confidence i gained through being on the list.

Due to email sent afew moments ago about going on about computer slowing after start up, I'm sorry to have offended anyone.

I joined this list because i'm a very unexperienced Jaws and computer user. also, to get help and support not to be pulled up for going on and on about a subject!

By the way, i don't feel i've been guilty of! If people ask me questions, then, i'm sure you'll agree,, it would be rude not to reply to them.

I would like to say at this point, that i appreciate all the kind people who have done nothing but be willing to help, and to thank them all very much.

In due of this comment, i hope it will be a while before i need to post to this list!

In the meantime, i'll look for a support list in the uk, and if i find one, will unsubscribe from this one.

Thanks once again to all the kind and helpful friends i've made on this, and i'm sorry i've been a trouble!

including deleting all partitions, re-partitioning and
formatting the hard drive or SSD.
Once you are done reinstall Jaws and instal the applications you
want.

! I have now removed eset Nov32, but there are still quite a few
things on here which i'd be frightened to remove. One of them is
Levono settings, another is Levono companion. I've also got
office 365, and some others which were on when i got the computer.

I have tried N.v.d.a, and this seems to be a bit quicker at
starting up than Jaws.Hi

It's an option that allows your PC to start faster. It probably wasn't on in the first place for your computer, if your Start Up sound works. It won't work if Fast Startup is on.

Hi Bill,

What is the fast startup? I did not turn it off on my PC. I only
checked the box.

Hi, Val. Do what John Covici suggested. Locate your Control Panel and press ENTER.

Once you are in Control Panel, locate Sounds, and press ENTER.

When you see the sounds which will probably be Windows Default, check to see if your Start Up sound is checked. If it isn't, press SPACE to check it. Then TAB over to Apply and press ENTER.

I didn't know that your Start Up sound wasn't checked. In any case, you would have had to turn Fast Start Up off to get your Start Up sound.

Hi Bill!

Tried what you suggested, but when turned on again, didn't get sound.

When I ALT tab between a web page & a word document JAWS doesn’t keep my place on the web page when I return.  Is there a setting to stop this?  I am reading scriptures & want to take notes & then continue reading but it goes usually to the bottom of the page.

Also when I’m in a word document & I pause for a few seconds it is like JAWS goes to sleep.  I have to arrow up & down to read the line or continue typing.  Is there a setting to fix this & why does it do this?

These things happened when I got a new computer & updated Office & JAWS.  I am currently using Windows 10, Office 2016 & Internet Explorer & JAWS 2018

Thank you.

I am aware of reading the columns and rows which is not the issue. Let me explain in a little more detail I have a 150 row spreadsheet that I use to prepare annual budgets with a multiple subtotal areas for various income/expense categories. I used to use split screens to view one area of the spreadsheet while viewing another area simultaneously I can still split the screen with menus however I don’t know how to tab back and forth between those 2 split areas. Hopefully that makes sense

Hello. There’s a way to modify your spreadsheets so that JAWS reads the row and column titles as you navigate. Dan Clark did a daisy book on this feature. It’s in the JAWS training materials. I use this feature in my spreadsheets.

Good Evening

 

A quick question on Excel. I am prefacing this by saying that I was a low vision user before so I am not sure you can do this with JAWS. I work sometimes with big spreadsheets where changes at the top have an impact on cells in the bottom and when I am verifying that all formulas are correct I used to use a split screen. Is there a way to navigate back and forth between those screens with a JAWS keystroke? There is a workaround that I can do by making copies of the workbook but if I can use the split screen I would prefer it.

 

Thanks for any help

Afternoon,

I used Quicken successfully for years. I had lost my install and purchased the newest version that turn out to be an accessibility nightmare.

 

In looking about, what I ended up doing was purchasing Money Talks the APH product that self-voices or works with JAWS, but have not tried it with NVDA, but will and report back. To be honest, since I made that purchase I have not given it the time I should. However it does allow for download of bank account information and lets one do basic checkbook and savings account management.

 

Your note made me think to look at Quick Books accessibility and the search turned up an older article at AFB’s Access World. The link is at:

http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pubnew.asp?DocID=aw150502

 

It was promising but dated 2014. It mentioned the joint work done by Intuit and  Blind Spot . Reference to Blind Spot is at:

Clearly Quick Books is more than I need and its pricey.  At the Blind Spot I went to their store to see about the scripts and training materials

You can purchase the following there.

QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2018, My Blind Spot JAWS scripts for Quickbooks, and Support Materials

$525.00

Under FAQs I found:

14) Where can I get the NVDA version of the scripts?

NVDA QuickBooks Accessibility Initiative

 

Seems a lot to keep my checking account balanced.

Subject: Personal Accounting Package accessible with Jaws

 

Is anyone having any success using personal accounting packages with Jaws.  I currently use Microsoft Money and that software has been discontinued by Microsoft.  Recently my bank, TD Bank, has made major changes to their online system and I can no longer export bank transactions to my MS Money.

 

I heard that Quicken is not accessible and I tried Cash Manager and I really do not like it.  I have 23 years of transactions that I do not want to lose.

 

Thanks,

Mario
