Question about using quick books with NVDA
|
chris judge
Good morning everyone.
I have a client who has just lost most of her vision. She worked as an accountant and used a program called quick books. In my experience we have had terrible success with screen readers and accounting software in the past. Does anyone know if this has changed. Can NVDA be made to work with quick books? If not, is there any accounting software that will work with NVdA, or any other screen reader? Thanks for any help you can give.

Good morning, I have used quickbooks as a sighted person, But since lost my sight five years ago I have not tried it. I do know they had an accessibility project a while back to make it accessible. Not sure it was with jaws or nvda. You may want to give them a call as I remember it not being the latest and greatest version. Let me know if you find anything out and if I am incorrect or not, and it I come across anything else will let you know. Thanks Rich

Hi, I my self am curious as to weather NVDA can be
made to work with Quickbooks pro 2015, in the main screens such as create
invoice screen, and the menues of quickbooks.
If it can, and if any one with some technical know
how can assist, I'd be happy to try it out. since we also are running
quickbooks here, and I'm prevented from using it, due to the screen reader not
working with it. There was a JFW project if memory serves, but I am not sure if
NVDA also had one.

So if anyone can tell us a good route to go, then please do so. I'm sure I saw talk on this on the add ons site some months back but it was not an issue then.

N2 It, or however it's spelled, the people who made
Quickin, which by the way, was an accessibility nightmare, are the same people
who make Quickbooks.
I have actually seen an audio demo, though I don't
remember where, floating around of Quickbooks 2016, and though it was being used
with JAWS, not NVDA, no scripts were needed, or anything.
From what I hear, Quickbooks at least back about 2
versions ago was ridiculously accessible! In fact, I don't remember there being
much that wasn't! accessible within the software.
So, I would say, the likelyhood of this working is
extremely extremely high.
Just for you all's information, there is! another
good opoensource accounting software, which is available on the Mac, Windows,
and even Linux. I think it's the most accessible from what I hear on Linux, but,
you might wanna still try it on Windows. I've never done so, but there's a
possibility it might work.
The software is called GNUCash.
That's G N U, then the word cash, like C, A, S, H,
all ran together as one word. No hyphen, or anything.

Hello Chris!
Though I've never used QuickBooks, I can help you a bit. There is an NVDA add-on called QuickBooks 2014 Support. It makes QuickBooks more accessible with NVDA. Find out more here. https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/quickBooks2014.en.html
Cheers,
Florian

Hi,
I would recommend Quickbooks Online as opposed to Quickbooks. Although Quickbooks Online isn’t perfect, in terms of accessibility, it works better with NVDA than any other screen reader.
All the best
Steve
