[BlindMath] Creating Jaws and NVDA Accessible UML and ER Diagrams

hi, I am a blind computer science major. I am a screenreader user,
primarily using Jaws and NVDA interchangeably.

I am taking two classes this quarter, design patterns and relational
databases, that I need to be able to create diagrams for. In my Design
patterns class, I am  learning UML, which is a pictorial language used
for object oriented software design. My relational databases class
will be covering ER diagrams, which are used for modeling relational
databases. From my understanding, the diagram sin tax for UML and ER
diagrams is similar.

I am looking for a solution to be able to create and read these
diagrams. I am looking for a solution, specifically for the UML
diagrams, that is long term, that I could potentially use in the
workforce.

I have done some searching, but have not found much on software that
is accessible and can do what I need it to do.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or have experience with dealing with
createing one or both of these types of diagrams.

Thanks,

TJ Breitenfeldt
