PlantUML is an open-source tool allowing users to create UML diagrams from a plain text language. The language of PlantUML is an example of a Domain-specific language. It uses Graphviz software to lay out its diagrams. It has been used to allow blind students to work with UML. PlantUML also helps blind software engineers to design and read UML diagrams.
PlantUML uses well-formed and human-readable code to render the diagrams.

When the application starts a CMD window with the Tomcat server process
starts up and shortly thereafter either the PortableApps browsers or the
operating systems' default browser will start pointing to the
http://localhost:8080/plantuml. The screen looks like the screenshot below.
Since this is not an official PortableApp the PortableApps installer must be download first. Navigate to https://github.com/uroesch/PlantUMLPortable/releases for a selection of releases.
After downloading the .paf.exe installer navigate to your PortableApps.com
platform Apps Menu ❶ and select Install a new app (paf.exe) ❷.
From the dialog choose the previously downloaded .paf.exe file. ❸
After a short while the installation dialog will appear.
The Packages found under the release page are not digitally signed so there the installation is a bit involved.
After downloading the .paf.exe installer trying to install may result in a
windows defender warning.
