[Blindmath] MATLAB Accessibility

[Pielaet, Jon]

Justin,

Although I lack experience with MatLab, I know that some level of compatibility with JAWS is possible.

MatLab is written in Java which creates some barriers. The installation of the Java Access Bridge may be required.
I have found this documentation on getting Matlab to work with JAWS:

I know this isn't a comprehensive answer to your question but I hope it is helpful.

I look forward to hearing from others on this topic.

Good Luck,


Jon

Subject: [Blindmath] MATLAB Accessibility

Dear List,
                I am a student at the Louisiana Center for the Blind, and I am going to be entering a PhD program in Agricultural & Applied Economics in the fall.  I I am doing a project right now where I am evaluating three statistical packages and their accessibility: MatLab, SAS, and R.  I have found a good bit of accessibility information for R and SAS, and I am trying to obtain all three of them.
                The reason that I am writing to this list is to ask if anyone knows where I can find accessibility reviews for MatLab.  Does anyone?  If not, what information can you give me from your own experience?
                This information that I collect will ultimately go into a PowerPoint presentation comparing these three packages.

Thank you in advance.

Justin Salisbury
