Hi.
Its not the easiest thing in the world but I'd not say its impossible.
I've found 2 tools, Enterprise Architect from sparx systems and an enterprise
level tool with an enterprise level price tag Rational Rhapsody which are both
reasonably accessible.
You've got to think out side of the box a little and if you've got access to
either of these tools then I can give advice on how they can be accessed with a
screen reader if that helps.
Unfortunately it looks like UML is here to stay and we've just got to get used
to it.
Thanks.
Nick.

In my experience, Chamandeep is correct, there just isn't much out
there. There was a Ph.D. dissertation several years back on UML for
the blind, which was excellent, by Alasdair King, if I recall. It's
great work, although to my knowledge it hasn't been integrated into
any commercial tools.
For what it's worth, there's rumors going around that NetBeans is
getting a new UML architecture in the relatively near future. I've
been talking a little and I'm really hoping we can make this
accessible in Sodbeans. That's a bit down the road, and doesn't help
anyone today, but hopefully in the future.
