[Blindmath] Stats for a beginner

[Martin, Vincent F]

Please be careful if you are trying to use SPSS.  The program has scripts written specifically for JAWS.  The program cannot be used with Window-Eyes, NVDA, Dolphin, and most definitely not the mac version with voice-over.

Hello,
Please note the pages at
http://R-Resources.massey.ac.nz/StatSoftware
where it says that you can use SPSS and Stata with screen readers. My review of Stata was refreshed this year. It can be used, but is perhaps a little painful. SPSS can be used with JAWS.

Subject: [Blindmath] Stats for a beginner

Hi Listers,
I am extremely new here and to statistics as a subject as well.
I just joined the doctoral program at West Verginia university in business management.
AS a starter, I need to do a lot of work with stats, e.g. data annalises, stats courses etc.
TO someone like me, it all is a little daunting as I can't use SPSS, am new to R  and am trying to figure the best way to work with basic stuff i.e. histograms, boxplots etc.
I have been trying to learn R but it's not easy and I suppose will work out in the long term.
Are there any other easier solutions to work with stats? I know SPSS or Stata don't work with screen readers. I use Jaws 1.
I have little or no experience with Braile as well.

Warm Regards,
Suman.
