I received this on a professional listserv today, and I thought I'd
share it. I haven't used the product, can't address it, and am not
necessarily promoting it. I'm just sharing information.

© My Blind Spot, Inc.
Dear friends and colleagues,
My Blind Spot's quest for a usable, accessible version of QuickBooks has
come to fruition. It began when we realized that the popular financial
software was not compatible with screen readers. I phoned Intuit
customer service and had the good fortune to be routed to their
Accessibility Program Manager, Lori Samuels. Soon, a team assembled by
My Blind Spot was working with Intuit engineers to restructure the
platform and revise the coding so the most commonly used features of QB
would be available to the blind, the visually impaired, and others who
are print disabled.
Less than three years later, I am proud to say, the new accessible,
usable suite of QuickBooks for Windows (Pro, Premiere and Enterprise)
debuted to choruses of praise. Aaron Preece, National Technology
Associate with the AFB, had this to say in AFB's AccessWorld magazine:
/My Blind Spot and Intuit should be commended for their efforts to
improve accessibility. Not only have they made great strides towards
developing an accessible product, they have also produced a product that
is very usable./
//
We are delighted with our success-but there is more to be done! Going
into 2015, we will continue to address those issues that we could not
resolve this time around. QuickBooks for Windows works with screen
readers such as JAWS and NVDA. We anticipate rounding out that list to
include Window-Eyes. Individuals using screen magnifiers like Zoom Text
and Magic will be pleased with the functionality we are reintroducing
into the product. And thanks to our friends at Freedom Scientific, who
loaned us a braille display, we have found it easier to test for braille
output.
Now that QB is more usable than ever, people need to know how to use it.
We are working on a complete User's Guide, creating self paced virtual
lessons, and trainings and curricula for the accessible version of
QuickBooks.
We need your continued support to help us continue our good work. Only
through the generosity of supporters like you can we continue to work
for the high level of access that promotes ability and restores infinite
possibilities. Please feel free to make a donation to My Blind Spot by

Having access to QuickBooks will be life-changing for financial
management professionals, either practicing or aspiring, who are blind,
visually impaired, or print disabled.
