If you can develop this level of accessibility, John, -- and it truly is great what you have done here, then shouldn't Quick Books be mandated to provide this level of accessibility as part of their accounting package? Once again, the blind are left having to pay extra to use a product that, for a few extra dollars in development cost could have and indeed, should have been included by the developer. Shame on Quicken. Here is another task for advocacy groups both in the U. S. and Canada.

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.
