[Blindmath] SPSS and Windows 7 x64

Wed Jan 19 19:02:14 UTC 2011

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has had difficulty installing Java Access Bridge
onto a Win 7 64bit machine? I require it for SPSS but seem to be having a
problematic time time!

Regards,

Mike

Hi all,
I am starting calc 2 this semester. Apparently, we use a program called
SAGE. How is this for accessibility? What should I know about this, or
should I just seek an alternative? Thanks in advance.

I have no idea.  Do you want to post an inquiry on the disability
listserv?  I am willing to, but I suspect you could explain it better
than I could, since you at least have some idea what it's suppose to
do.   We have brought up a couple of boxes; let me know if you want
them delivered to your room.

Hi

Sage has two interfaces, a commandline one and a web-based one that you 
access via a browser.  I use the commandline interface all the time and 
its perfectly accessible.  I've never used the web based interface but 
imagine it will be much harder to work with.

Sage only runs on linux, so you will need a linux installation.  If you 
don't want to install linux just for that then you should find out if 
you can get access to a linux machine with sage which you can SSH into.

Best wishes

Alastair Irving

Thanks. I will probaby ssh into a box already set up since I have
never had a lot of luck with speech on linux. Besides, I can't imagine
using eSpeak for anything math-related.

My apologies for the slightly basic question, but  given the below post, I 
was curious how well SSH works with JAWS 9 and MSWindows 2003?

  Our lab has SSH set up so that we can access our lab's equipment from 
home. I have been wanting to do this,  but am not highly familiar with SSH 
and have no idea how well it works with JAWS. Any information would be much 
appreciated.
Many thanks,
Christine

When I first came across Sage, they were planning a native port for Windows.
If you check the main page, it looks like they still haven't started it.
http://windows.sagemath.org/
 But if you go to the download page, there are a couple of binaries.
http://windows.sagemath.org/download.html

Of course as they mention, Sage can be run on Cygwin.

One more thing: when I have tried to access publicly available Sage
worksheets, they were not particularly accessible as I couldn't seem to
distinguish between Math and Python code for Math.
That's probably because they are using MathJax or JSMath and I cannot seem
to ever manage to read MathML  served that way.
