Money Talks works very well with JAWS.
I understand that it was tested with at least two of the mnajor screen readers before its release.

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

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.
