Good morning everyone,
While improved accessibility to QuickBooks is a major step forward to
say that blind people could never persue careers in financial management or
manage their cashflow independently is rather over-the-top. A message such
as this is mostly hype and a profound disservice to the blind! The
accessible version of QuickBooks will certainly create more career
opportunities and allow blind persons to manage their money with greater
independence. To say that this was never possible until now is dead wrong!
It's possible to promote products like this without failing to recognize the
past accomplishments of the blind in this industry prior to the launch of
the accessible version of QuickBooks. All the best.

Subject: quickBooks accessibility has arrived!
*After 3 long years and a dream, the Quest for QuickBooks is over!*
To paraphrase from another historic moment in history, QuickBooks is
coming! QuickBooks is coming! During this week when our nation celebrates
independence, with all the fireworks and fanfare, My Blind Spot is proud
to announce that the accessible version of Intuit's QuickBooks 2014 is
available for purchase and download and is just a click away. (Please
note: Intuit, Inc.'s QuickBooks for Windows includes QuickBooks Pro,
QuickBooks Premier, and QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions.)
For the first time, accountants, bookkeepers, and tax preparers acquiring
blindness, a visual impairment, or a print disability will have the choice
to stay gainfully employed.
For the first time, people of all ages who are blind, visually impaired,
or print disabled will be able to pursue financial management careers
previously closed to them.
For the first time, people who are blind and print disabled will be able
to manage their finances, or the finances of their small business or
nonprofit, without depending on assistance from others.
In addition to offering the accessible version of QuickBooks with screen
reader enhancements, My Blind Spot has developed a User's Guide as well as
a broad selection of self-paced virtual lessons that demonstrate the ease
of keyboard navigation for accounting, bookkeeping and tax preparation.
For the first time, the full power of QuickBooks for Windows will be
available for people of all abilities to independently manage personal and
small business finances.
