Re: Accessible UML drawing tools

Donal said:

There was also an EU sponsored project a few years ago called TEDUB.  I
remember evaluating it at the time, but I'm not sure what the current state
of it is.

Andreas Said:

I spoke online to Alasdair King not all that not terribly long ago,
and as far as I know, no one is working on Tedub at the moment.
However, Alasdair did build a UML tool specifically for the blind as
part of his dissertation, which I'm sure he would be willing to email
if someone asked (He sent a copy to me).  If folks are interested, I
might be able to get Alasdair to post it (or let me post it).
