I second the usefulness of ALT.  It is a very powerful program.

Subject: [blindlaw] ALT Workflow Accelerator and Task Automation

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?
