Hello: My name is Mitch. I work for a company called outlook Nebraska Inc. in Omaha Nebraska. I am totally blind and I run the IT department. LOL, right now it is a department of one. Next week I am hiring another gentleman who is also blind. I do believe that that will make this company One of if not the first company in the country to have an entirely blind IT staff. I could be wrong about that but I would be interested to hear what other people have seen or observed. As far as diagrams go I also use XL to do my network diagrams as well. I have seen others use Microsoft Word and do it in an outline format. Sent from my iPhone

It is quite difficult to make diagrams with a screen reader; even though Visio is much better in terms of accessibility, menus are accessible, call outs are accessible etc., comparing to other software. I am using simple excel spreadsheet to document everything, statics, subnets, accounts, subscriptions, configurations, VPNs... Every subnet has its own spreadsheet and I do it this way.
I'd be interesting to hear how other do it. My sighted colleagues are pushing for real diagrams, and I am still working on it. I feel like network changes always so fast changing that I would need full time job to make diagrams only to keep everything up to date.

Hello,
I am a new list member and this is my first post. I am a college student majoring in IT. One of the classes I am taking requires the use of diagramming software for network diagrams, etc. The instructor recommended Microsoft Visio. I realize that making and reading network diagrams is next to impossible, but I am curious to know what people have done as alternatives for documentation purposes.
Thanks, Mike
