[blindlaw] Question About Management Software for Law Office and Non-profit Related

[Sy Hoekstra]

Salesforce isn't bad. I have been using it with JAWS for a few weeks at a
law office I'm interning with, and I have yet to encounter any accessibility
issues. It's online, and I have been using IE to access it. It's also a law
office that is a non-profit/social work/all kinds of other services , and
I'm sure does lots of donor tracking and all that.

Also, having no experience using Voiceover with anything other than my
iPhone, I have been told by others that using a Mac isn't sufficient for a
visually impaired professional. Voiceover just isn't as suffisticated as it
needs to be. But again, I don't actually know this from experience.

The tasks you describe can be accomplished by using excel. 

My suggestion is that before any of us criticize a piece of software or a
computer program, we should ask whether our problems or our inability to use
the software is the result of our own lack of training on the program or our
lack of computer skills in general.  

All of the functions you describe can be performed with excel, timekeeping,
client information such as contact information and tracking contacts from
potential new clients. 

Using a Mac might not be a good idea especially if you interact with other
law offices.  The vast majority of law firms use Microsoft products to track
the functions you describe.

Dear Gary,
There is one solution to all your problems. It's called the Apple Mac.
Best,
Nic

Greetings:



This is to inquire if there is a good piece of software (by this I mean it
actually works and does not but partially work with JAWS) that would help
with law office management, e.g. recording client contacts and billing, and
calendar functions; and that could also help with general non-profit type
tracking, e.g. keeping a sense of donors.


This software, if there are any suggestions, would need to be user friendly
for sighted and blind persons alike; and would actually need to function
with JAWS. I have absolutely no time and patience for JAWS or dealing with
Freedom Scientific.


I am sincerely appreciative.


I do realize that I may well be inquiring into a couple of software
solutions.


Sincerely,
Gary
