Yesterday I came across IBM Lotus Symphony. This is an office suite
consisting of applications to work on documents, spread sheets and
presentations. It supports the open document format, as well as the MS
Office file formats, and it seems to be free. Even more excitingly,
there may be a chance it's accessible. After playing around with it for
a few minutes, I'm still optimistic that it is accessible. If so, this
will give us another office suite option besides MS Office, and this one
is free. Note that I've tried Open Office, and after a few minutes, I've
always concluded that under Windows and with JFW, it isn't really
usable. I've only played with Symphony for a few minutes. so there may
be some show stoppers out there, and I'm not sure if they're still
committed to accessibility, but it's still under beta so this is our
chance to get our input in there.
I got it from Developer Works at
