[nfbcs] Creating Jaws or NVDA Accessible UML and ER Diagrams

[Timothy Breitenfeldt]

Thank you for the replies, I am looking into plant UML as a means to
textually write out the design, and be able to convert it ino  a
visual image that my teacher will like. I am going to also play with
GSK, and see if I can make it work for creating ER diagrams.
