Talking Checkbook

Now Vista Compatible!

This simple interface takes the work out of the bookwork -

The Talking Checkbook is designed to make account management and check writing truly accessible. It is designed for individuals who find it difficult to write in small areas and for those who find simple math difficult. You will find using the Talking Checkbook quicker and much easier than manually writing checks.

The Talking Checkbook has extensions built into it to be compatible with both Jaws and Window Eyes. These extensions were added to provide excellent accessibility. We have also included a check-signing template to make signing checks a breeze. Users have the option of using just the internal voice, Jaws extensions, Window Eyes extensions or turn off the voice completely. Screen Readers will read the information on the screen, but sometimes that is not enough. The screen reader extension will read the information in a logical format allowing you to make sense of the information being read. 

People who have trouble with math and those who have trouble with transposing numbers can really benefit from the internal voices. Sometimes just hearing the number will allow you to catch your errors.

Many disabilities make it difficult to write and sign checks. The Talking Checkbook can do that for you. It can print your checks. It uses standard printer checks, the ones used by QuickBooks and other accounting applications. The Talking Checkbook will work with any laser or inkjet printer. Just place the blank check in the printer, select the print button and the check will print. When it is done printing, to sign the check, just lay the template provided with The Talking Checkbook over the and sign your name where the hole is.

About The Talking Checkbook -
The Talking Checkbook is an application designed to make account management and check writing accessible not only to people who have varying disabilities, but anyone who wants an easy way to write checks and balance accounts.

The Talking Checkbook has a simple interface that makes managing any bank account easy. You can use it to manage a checking, savings or even a retirement account. Select an account and press CTRL + B and instantly you will hear the balance of that account. If you want detailed information about that account, you can go through the transactions one by one in descending order or you can create a report. The reports are created in a MS Word document that gives you full access to the information. You can also export the information to a file that can be opened up in spreadsheet programs such as Excel or Lotus, where you can create your own reports.

Printing checks is a breeze. You fill out the information just like writing a check. You only have to enter the check information once. For example, every month you write a check to the phone company. Once you have entered the information for the phone company for the first time, after that you can simply select it from the list and not have to enter the information every time.

To make account management easier, we have added both a notes field and a search feature. The note feature allows you to record additional information about a check or a deposit. The search feature helps you locate a check.
