Barbara,
Quicken is accessible with JAWS, and you can find tips on using it in the
JAWS help, under the 3rd party software section. However, before you
purchase Quicken or any other product from Intuit, you should consider the
information I found on the following Intuit web page, which describes
Intuit's outrageous policy of disabling or "retirement" of older versions of
Quicken:
https://quicken.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/quicken.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3874
Quicken Support - Retirement of Online Services for older versions of
Quicken
In an ongoing effort to provide reliable high-quality products and services,
Intuit periodically retires (also known as "sunsets") older versions of
Quicken,
thereby discontinuing online services & live technical support for these
versions.
Under this policy, the most current version of Quicken (currently Quicken
2006), plus the prior two versions, will be supported, subject to certain
exceptions.
Sunsetting older versions of Quicken allows us to focus resources on
enhancing our products and providing support for more current versions,
which are
used by the vast majority of Quicken customers.
When a Quicken product is scheduled to be sunset, Intuit will provide
affected customers with advance notice, generally by means of this Web site.
We update
this Web site periodically, so please visit us again for more information as
it becomes available.
Information for Quicken 2003 customers.
As of April 25, 2006, in accordance with the Quicken sunset policy, online
services1 and live technical support will no longer be available for Quicken
2003 users. These services include online bill pay; downloading financial
data from your bank, credit union, credit card, brokerage, 401(k) or mutual
fund
accounts; downloading stock quotes, news headlines and other financial
information into Quicken; uploading portfolio information from Quicken to
Quicken.com;
and access to the investing features on Quicken.com including portfolio
tracking, any watch lists you have created, One-Click ScorecardT, Stock
Evaluator
and Mutual Fund Evaluator.
To avoid a service interruption, you must upgrade to Quicken 2006 before
April 25, 2006. To place your order online, please visit
www.newquicken.com.
