I tried cash manager and didn’t like the fact that they always used accounting
terminology, some of which actually created a lot of confusion when inputting
details. That was about a year ago so not sure if they have changed it as I did
raise it with them at the time and they acknowledged that they were aware of
the issue and hoped to develope something a little more friendly for personal
use in the future. I’m trying to think of an example of what wasn’t right with
it but I can’t remember, but it wasn’t the best programme out there, all be it
very accessible.

Subject: CashManager Home version Was RE: Coding for quickbooks
Hi Peter,
Might I suggest you look at the trial version of CashManager for home users.
It retails for fifty dollars and is very accessible out of the box with Jaws.
I’ve even trialed it on a Win 98 PC with Jaws 5.10 and it performed very well.
It’s an excellent alternative to Quicken for those who wish to track bank
accounts, credit cards, expenses, print checks and reports. And, it works very
well without scripting.
HTH
Cordially,
Richard P. Kelly

I think scripting one of the home versions would make more sense as that’s the
version the average person is likely to use and would benefit from the most as
many blind people are just managing on limited incomes.

One thing I also might mention is because quickbooks is updated every year; I
would have to make this a lasting project and not let it go stale. Each year
the script will have to change and older scripts might not work with the new
release; so these would not be backwards compatible scripts. It is possible
they could work with older versions; but I can't guarantee the year to year
versions will be the same. I would start with the latest meaning quickbooks
2011. I would keep this project going by possibly charging for the scripts.
Nothing outrageous; just enough to keep development for the future. I don't
know of other possibilities of getting the project funded every year; but
perhaps this is where other organizations will come in. I haven't charged for
scripts before; so this is new to me. This would definitely make for better
support; but the scripts would have to remain closed source unless I sell the
rights to them. I am aware that this might make us run out to get the latest
version; so another charge to make it accessible doesn't seem fair in the
beginning. If I got it funded by kick start; the first year would be free;
while the following years would have a price to them to keep it going since
this is a monster of a program.; Let me know your thoughts on this.; John Martyn
