[Blindmath] Anybody have any experience with statistics software stata and Jaws?

[Van Landeghem, Bert]

Dear Rich,

I am working with Stata. It is possible to read the output screen itself with a Braille display, although I don't find it very efficient (some Jaws scripting may possibly improve things a lot). What I find useful is to write the output to a logfile which can be opened in any text editor. If you open the log file in a web browser, you can alt-tab to the web browser after execution of any command and press the refresh button to see the output, a way of working which I find quite efficient. 

Hope this helps. 

Regards,
Bert

A client will be using stata for her coursework and needs to use it with Jaws. They do not offer e demo on their site, so cannot try it out.

Does anyone have any experience with this package, specifically with respect to screen reader accessibility?

Thanx in advance.
