To manage my financial information I use both Microsoft Excel and APH's
MoneyTalks. Yes, MoneyTalks can write checks, but it is much more than a check
writing program. In the five years that I have been using MoneyTalks I have
not written one check. It can be used to reconcile bank data with your databy
downloading the bank information. It can handle any number of accounts and has
the ability to transfer money between accounts. It is well worth the $40 or
$50 price. It is self-voicing with any SAPI5 voice or you may use a screen
reader.
So if all you are looking to do is manage checking accounts, savings accounts
credit card accounts etc. you can't go wrong with MoneyTalks.

Victoria,
Many JFW and Quicken versions ago, there was JFW support for Quicken.
However, if you look in the JFW Help under Using JAWS with Popular Applications
topic, you won't find Quicken mentioned any more. Some people have said they
still use Quicken by remembering the position of each data entry field or by
using the JAWS cursor a lot, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone who hasn't
used the program before. Unfortunately, Microsoft has never been interested in
making their Money program accessible.
APH sells a check writing program called "Money Talks." I don't think this
program has the capability of importing bank data.
I use Microsoft Excel to keep up with expenses and income, automate the
payment of my regular bills and use a credit card and a debit card to make any
other payments. I only need to write 2 or 3 checks a year using these methods.

Hello, I would like to know whether anyone on this list has ever used JAWS
and the Quicken Software. I would like to know if it is compatible. I have a
friend who uses Quicken but he uses magnification software, as he is legally
blind and not totally blind.
Many banks give you the option of either using Quicken or Microsoft Money;
they are check writing programs. If anyone has used Quicken with jaws, could
you tell me what your experiences were, good or bad. I would hate to purchase
that and have it installed only to find that jaws might not work with it.
Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated.
