Who is the Talking Checkbook designed for?
The Talking Checkbook is designed to make account management and check
writing truly
accessible. It is designed for individuals who find it difficult to write in
small
areas and for those who find simple math difficult. You will find using the
Talking
Checkbook quicker and much easier than manually writing checks.
The Talking Checkbook has extensions built into it to be compatible with
both Jaws
and Window Eyes. These extensions were added to provide excellent
accessibility.
We have also included a check-signing template to make signing checks a
breeze.
Users have the option of using just the internal voice, Jaws extensions,
Window Eyes
extensions or turn off the voice completely. Screen Readers will read the
information
on the screen, but sometimes that is not enough. The screen reader
extension will
read the information in a logical format allowing you to make sense of the
information
being read.

People who have trouble with math and those who have trouble with
transposing numbers
can really benefit from the internal voices. Sometimes just hearing the
number will
allow you to catch your errors.
Many disabilities make it difficult to write and sign checks. The Talking
Checkbook
can do that for you. It can print your checks. It uses standard printer
checks,
the ones used by QuickBooks and other accounting applications. The Talking
Checkbook
will work with any laser or inkjet printer. Just place the blank check in
the printer,
select the print button and the check will print. When it is done printing,
to sign
the check, just lay the template provided with The Talking Checkbook over
the and
sign your name where the hole is.
We have eliminated confusing terms such as "debit" and "credit" and replaced
them
with everyday terms you a familiar with such as "withdraws" and "deposits".
You
are either taking money out of and account or putting it in. It is that
simple.
About The Talking Checkbook
The Talking Checkbook is an application designed to make account management
and
check writing accessible not only to people who have varying disabilities,
but anyone
who wants an easy way to write checks and balance accounts.
The Talking Checkbook has a simple interface that makes managing any bank
account
easy. You can use it to manage a checking, savings or even a retirement
account.
Select an account and press CTRL + B and instantly you will hear the balance
of that
account. If you want detailed information about that account, you can go
through
the transactions one by one in descending order or you can create a report.
The
reports are created in a MS Word document that gives you full access to the
information.
You can also export the information to a file that can be opened up in
spreadsheet
programs such as Excel or Lotus, where you can create your own reports.
Printing checks is a breeze. You fill out the information just like writing
a check.
You only have to enter the check information once. For example, every month
you
write a check to the phone company. Once you have entered the information
for the
phone company for the first time, after that you can simply select it from
the list
and not have to enter the information every time.
To make account management easier, we have added both a notes field and a
search
feature. The note feature allows you to record additional information about
a check
or a deposit. The search feature helps you locate a check.
