[blindlaw] ALT Workflow Accelerator and Task Automation

[Tai Tomasi]

I would encourage all blind attorneys to look at the ALT workflow software. In addition to eliminating the need for expensive scripting, it allows you to automate tasks. For example, I can press the alt key twice, type in gs space and then my google search, and my computer will quickly complete a google search. I can also have JAWS open documents and move focus to particular places, and record macros for automation of tasks. I can log in to westlaw by tapping alt twice, hitting space, and typing wl. You can use this software to record a series of mouse clicks, automating tasks that were formerly only possible with the assistance of a sighted colleague or through expensive JAWS scripting.

I am not receiving any compensation to promote this product, but I find it extremely useful. More information is available at www.u-r-able.com.The<http://www.u-r-able.com.The> software is a bit pricy, but still much less expensive than JAWS. You can also sync your database across devices using a service like dropbox, making this useful not only at work but at home. I have just started training with it and can already tell that my efficiency is improving immensely.

I would be interested in presenting on technology helpful to blind attorneys at a future NABL meeting. Would list members be interested in such presentations, or even a series of webinars on technology topics?
