Hello Everyone. Does anyone know of a good program for task/project management for Windows that works well with JAWS? I really need something more at work than I've been able to do with the task list in Outlook. In particular, I would like to be able to create tasks with subtasks. I'm working in a state goverment job, so our computers are very locked down, and it is a major process to get anything extra installed on them. I want to be sure that whatever program I ask for is going to meet my needs and be accessible. Ideally, I would love for the program to have an app for the iPhone as well, since that's what my work phone is. I briefly looked at Microsoft To-do on the iPhone, but it seemed like it had some accessibility issues, so I wasn't sure about it or how it did on Windows.
If anyone has a program that they use and like, I would be very grateful to hear about it. Thanks in advance!

PM apps for Windows
Project Management apps on Windows are hard to find that are accessible and usable with a screen reader. As a PM myself, I'm relying on just notepad for now. I'm further using a combination of Reminders and figuring out Todouist for the iPhone. My next venture is to look at it on Windows and also on Mac OS as well. Unfortunately, a lot of mainstream PM programs such as Monday.com are very lacking in terms of accessibility and usability for screen reader users. I'd like to see others comments on what they are using and have found that works for them.
Notion on Windows Not Accessible
Notion is an amazing app/platform, but not accessible on Windows (via its own app) or on the web. One can read what's going on, but the editing is a nightmare. The iPhone app can be used, but for real productivity one would want the ability to use it on a computer.
Have you tried any of these?
• Google Tasks.
• Microsoft To Do.
• Do.
All of the above applications have accessible interfaces on iOS, the last one unfortunately requires in-app purchases in order to remove ads, but it has an accessible interface. I think any of the three would help you with your needs. I have not tried Microsoft To Do or Google Tasks on my PC, but if they're anything like other Microsoft and Google applications, then you should be good to go.
HTH.
@Brian
I looked at Microsoft To Do briefly a while ago. I can't remember for sure why I didn't like it, but I seem to remember having some accessibility issues on the iPhone. I was also hesitant about that one because I tried the new task manager app within Outlook, but it was completely inaccessible. I was afraid the seperate To Do program would be the same.
As I said, it's a pain to get the IT department to approve and install anything, so I would like to know going in that whatever program I'm asking for is at least accessible.
Understandable
If you did not like Microsoft to do, Google tasks may not interest you then. I felt like Microsoft to do application had more going for it on iOS.
Alas, I am fresh out of ideas. Hopefully someone on here will have more knowledge about project management platforms than I do. 😳
