[nabs-l] Homework manager

[Jewel S.]

My suggestion is DaybyDay professional Planning Calendar. This is a
program made by a blind programmer specifically for use with JAWS,
though it also works with WindowEyes, and it works somewhat with NVDA.
It also has an address book and a reminder system.

This is the program that I use as a JAWS 10 user. It is an excellent
program, and i definitely recommend it. You can find it at
blindsoftware.com and it costs $40, though you can download a free
30-day trial from the website. I have been using the program for about
a year now, and can't live without it now! I keep track of doctors'
appointments, meetings with counsellors and teachers, meetings with
organizations, homework and reading assignments, holidays, birthdays,
and contact information.

My favourite thing about DaybyDay is the easy-to-learn hotkeys. They
are simple and logical, such as CTRL+A for adding a new note, CTRL+B
for going to the address book, and CTRL+P or N for going to the
previous or next day, as well as CTRL+T for going to the current day
(today). The programmer who created it also has four tutorial audio
files on the website for learning the hotkeys and functions of
DaybyDay.

Can't hurt to try it, and maybe you'll like it so much that you buy
it, like I did!
