the checking account management software from the printinghouse is called
money-talks. It is quite useful, and it does have a mechanism for
callibrating and printing checks, however it does not actually print
checks -- all it does is fill in the blanks on your existing checks, which
you have to put through the printer. I have never bothered doing this (yet)
but am interested in a solution that will let me print the entire check,
including the account number at the bottom, bank name, etc. Then I don't
have to purchase checks from the bank.
Any ideas how to do this?
Happy hacking.

Hi Rick,
The National Association of the Blind in Delhi has successfully created a
lot of cheque printing templates. These templates have been created in
Microsoft Excel . you can download them from
http://www.nabdelhi.org/computer.htm
Microsoft Excel is a far cleaner interface so your optics should be safe for
the time being.
Also, if I remember correctly, Jamal had created a cheque printing program.
I do not know how up-to-date it is.
Finally, the American printing house of the Blind also has a money
management programme. I believe this supports cheque printing.
Pranav

Hi Guys:
I am starting to help out locally with some older folks who are low vision
and blind. I want to be able to teach them to use a screen reader, a simple
way to write letters, envelopes, pay bills and surf the net. Microsoft Word
would be overkill and a 70 year old, blind or low vision grandma might
scratch out my eyeballs before I could teach her to work in MS Word with all
it's dynamic and complex thingys. So, I thought you programmers might have
run across some good alternatives for me to look into. What about the new
cloud stuff? Any good and accessible Word Processors out there yet? What
about a Check Printing application? If you have done anything like this I
need some pointers. I can code my own applications but don't want to
ReInvent the wheel if someone else has already created something nice in
this arena.
If you have any pointers to creating an application to handle these
functions for older folks I will look at the coding techniques as well in
case I decide to code up some custom application.
Thanks for suggestions:
Rick USA
