Are we referring to someone who is blind, low vision or has a learning disability? As the solution will vary depending on their disability.

Jaws for Windows scripts have been designed to work with Excel and provide chart information. I have used this with basic charts in the past. How good it is with complex chart is a different story.

I also would be interested in this. I would even extend this too:

Organisational charts
Network charts
Programming logic flow charts
Project management charts
Financial charts
