Hello Friends, I am using a small program called:
Day By Day
I have been using it for a very long time perhaps 7 or 8 years!
It is completely JAWS accessible.
You can look up any day or date simply by doing a control F command, type in
the date, and it will tell you what day that is, and has lots of other
functions!
It is only 1.4 MB in size.
If anyone wantsit, I can send it to them as an attachment. It comes as a self
extracting file. write me at: adicey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Samara,
You may want to try Google Calendars. I have used it a bit with Jaws, and so
far is the most accessible online calendar I have seen. However, I have not
done a full assessment to determine what the limitations are. The biggest
drawback is that it only works with the Firefox browser, not Internet Explorer.
So, if you're using Firefox, do the following to get started.
1. Go to www.google.com/calendar
2. If you have a Google account, sign in. If not, click on "create an account"
3. After creating an account and getting on the calendar page, Go to "Settings"
link
4. On the Settings page, go down to the Default View drop-down box and change
to "Day"
5. Go to the Save button and activate
6. To learn more about using the calendar with a screen reader go to the link
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=152654 It
gives explanations, and has all the accessible keyboard shortcuts
I would be curious to hear what others have tried using.
Best regards, Mark
