Everett:

Great!

I wish I had a handle on writing scripts.  I would do it for you at no
charge.  It would just be my way to help another blind person.

I agree, I wouldn't store anything online; especially with regard to
finances.  Please let me know how it goes.

Good afternoon Gene,

I have noticed the non-standard UI that QB uses.  However, this isn't too 
much of a challenge to someone who does scripting for a business.  I would 
script the application myself, but I simply do not have the time.  I already

have a couple of quotes on scripting the application.  I will let you know 
how it goes, I imagine that there will be few tweaks required to make the 
Canadian scripts work with QB U.S. as they have used the same codebase for 
the past year.

As for other applications, I have tested Simply Accounting and Microsoft 
Accounting Express and neither is accessible.  I did hear that there may be 
Window Eyes scripts for QuickBooks Online.  I would never choose to use an 
online bookkeeping application myself, but this might be worth your looking 
into.

HTH,
Everett
