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

Wed Jan 17 01:36:43 UTC 2018

Thank you for all of the replies, I am looking into plant UML as a
means to textually design my programs, and still be able to convert it
into a visual representation. I am also looking into a peace of
software called GSK, for creating accessible node based graphs.
