Ditto for Impress. I'm not doubting you, but I suspect many people would claim Office is accessible even though Access, or OneNote or other specific applications in the suite may not be accessible.

I'd like a no-fuss program I can quickly enter new terms, translations, and usage notes into, then use to search for terms when I'm preparing for a job. I would use the database for other things, like organizing client billing info, recipes, knitting patterns.
