Excel has most of the functions that would be necessary for fantasy projections.  The reliability coefficients and confidence intervals would be a little more challenging, but its all there.  Do you know excel?  My understanding is that excel is already pretty compatible, but then I'm not sure about your screenreader or any recent developments in compatibility.  Most stats files live in .csv the true formatting in statistics is pretty simple if you've handled integration you've done far harder stuff!
