[Blindmath] SPSS accessibility file

[Birkir Rúnar Gunnarsson]

As far as I know SPSS, post version 15, kis simply not accessible (or
to such a little extent that it is not usable). Do you have the Java
Access Bridge installed?
It is supposed to give you some accessibility, but IBM, that now owns
SPSS, has done awfully little to make SPSS accessible and you may be
forced to find a different solution for your statistics needs.
Again, this is just what I have heard from blind users trying to use
it, and if you can prove me/us wrong in that regard I would be
extremely happy.
You may also, perhaps, try to get SPSS pre version 15 (pre Java switch) ot use.
Cheers
