Hi,
The learning curve is easy. The documentation is clearly written, but there
are few specific examples. But each option is clearly explained. There are
a number of features which a person may not need to effectively use the
pprogram, and these can be ignored, I think, as long as the basics are
learned you should have no problem.
I suspect most people use the high quality speech which comes with the
program when purchased on disk, or the lower quality speech if the download
purchase option is used. Going by memory here, I think the download
purchase option is $39, and the disc price is $49.
The program can be used with either window eyes or jaws with the money talks
internal speech turn off, control plus F12, which is a money talks speech on
or off toggle.
There are two commands in money talks which will conflict with jaws,
according to the documentation, but a simple use of the insert plus 3 key as
a bypass solves this. If you use the money talk speech and turn off jaws
then this is not a problem. I regularly turn off window eyes and use the
money talk speech. I opted to purchase the disk for $49 at the time with
the high quality A T and T speech. The downloaded speech offering for
$39 is very much like narrator speech. Check the www.aph.org page for
current prices.
Also money talks is in beta cycle now so hopefully soon, there will be a new
full release.
Obviously I think the program is a fine offering, <grin>.
Below I quote two little sections from the mt manual:
Say Current Transaction: Ctrl+Space
Pressing Ctrl+Space makes Money Talks announce the current transaction. Note
that
JAWS users should press Insert+3 before pressing this command if JAWS is
running.
Next and Previous Uncleared: Ctrl+F9 and Ctrl+F10
The Find menu lets you locate transactions that have not yet cleared.
Find Previous Uncleared Transactions
Use the Previous Uncleared and Next Uncleared commands to move to the next
transaction
in either direction that has not yet cleared. If you try to move in a
direction where
there are no more uncleared transactions, the program beeps to let you know
there
are no more transactions in that direction that are uncleared.
In addition to Ctrl+F9 and Ctrl+F10 to move to the previous and next
uncleared transaction,
you may also use Alt+Up Arrow and Alt+Down Arrow to access these commands.
This may
actually be easier to remember; unfortunately, the Alt+Up Arrow and Alt+Down
Arrow
commands do not work properly if you are running the JAWS screen access
program.

Good morning List,
I am considering purchasing the APH's Money Talks, and need some advice.
I need your input both pro and con. How well does it work with Jaws? Is
the learning curve tough or intuitive? Any and all responses would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance. Joe

Subject: [moneytalks] Re: void/cancel
Some of this depends on why a check is bveing voided. If the check is
completely no good, that works. However, there arde the cases where a
check gets mis-printed. In that case, all that should be necessary is to
re-print the check and change the check.
BUT---- That messes up the check numbering system. I've been able to
both input duplicate check numbers as well as get the program itself to
generate a duplicate check number.
When there is a check which I choose to void for whatever reason, I
created a payer name of Void. In the debit field, I made it $0.00. In
the item field, I entered the check number which I voided. I used the
category name of Void, and didn't choose to use a subcategory in this
case. In the memo field sometimes I write where the check was supposed
to go to or most usually, I leave this field blank. But since the memo
field is a free-flowing type of field, one can write whatever they want
in their that would be meaningful to them.
Now whenever I run across an instance where I need to void a check, I
just type in the first few letters of the word void while entering a new
transaction. I then arrow down to have the program locate that payer,
and the category field is automatically filled in as void. I make sure
to put the correct check number in the Item field and save the record.
Of course, if I have already written out the check I make sure to clear
that record too with the delete key while focused on that record.
The memo idea is good, but it is also helpfull to keep most of the info
in the register. A Void Field would be nice to have.
