[Hudlug] information on accessable applications

[MICHAEL WEAVER]

someone has produced a web page as regards applications accessable with 
Orca and kind of stolen my thunder so to speak although I don't really 
mind and it mentions an application I was hoping would be made to work 
as Microsoft Money was not very accessable with Windoweyes as I had to 
use the We cursor which is the mouse pointer to navigate and click on 
certain options, Quicken got discontinued in the UK because the company 
that made it withdrew support for UK users so stores like PC World 
stopped selling it and Money Talks which was a talking financial program 
never worked for me as it kept coming up with an error message and even 
if it installed, because it was produced by NFB or American Printing 
house for the Blind or something in the US, it might have only stored 
account information in US Dollars and maybe not any other currency.
The information about the accessable apps I have included below.

Have you ever had the need to accomplish a given task, but were 
uncertain as to whether
there was an accessible solution which would allow you to meet that need 
under Gnome?
the aim of this wiki is to serve as a reference in those situations. Its 
intent is
not to be a conclusive list of all applications. Rather, the goal is to 
provide a
repository within which users can share experiences regarding 
applications they have
tested.
Audio editing and recording tools
Jokosher
Homepage:
http://www.jokosher.org
Description: simple and easy to use audio multi-tracker
Accessible as of version 0.1-0
this application has not yet been tested thoroughly; However, Basic 
functions, such
as the navigation of menus and dialogs work as expected.
Chat and Messaging
Gaim
homepage:
http://gaim.sourceforge.net
Description: multi-protocol instant messaging client
Accessible as of version 1.5
Gaim has been extensively tested and scripted, and is a very accessible 
solution.
Email applications
Evolution
Homepage:
http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/
Accessible as of version 2.6.1
Description: Evolution is the integrated mail, calendar, task and 
address book distributed
suite from Novell, Inc.
Evolution has been tested and scripted extensively by the Orca team, and 
is a viable
solution for all of your email, calendar, and contact management needs.
Financial management
Gnucash
Homepage:
http://www.gnucash.org
Description: A personal finance tracking program
Known to be accessible as of version 2.0. Note however, that versions 
prior to 2.0
are known to be inaccessible.
This application has not been tested extensively; However, early results 
appear very
encouraging. all Wizards, menus and dialogs tested thus far have behaved 
as expected.
Office and productivity
Openoffice.org
Homepage:
http://www.openoffice.org
Accessible as of version 2.03. Versions prier to 2.03 are known not to 
be accessible.
description: Openoffice.org is a full-featured office productivity suite 
that provides
a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft(R) Office.
At present, Openoffice Calc and Openoffice Writer have been extensively 
scripted
and are undergoing testing. Currently Accessible functions in this suite 
include:
Document creation and editing, spell checking, manipulation of tables 
and forms,
as well as the ability to work with spreadsheets.
Package management
Synaptic Package Manager
Description: Synaptic is a graphical package management tool based on 
GTK+ and APT.
Known to be accessible as of version 0.57.11
This package currently works relatively well; However,some issues do 
exist which
may require scripting to correct. For example, when reading the table of 
packages,
there doesn't seem to be a way to determine the status of a given 
package; that is,
whether it is installed, not installed, marked for installation, etc.
