[BlindMath] SPSS and Jaws

Mon Feb 27 10:48:51 UTC 2023

Actually, if you are not required to use SPSS specifically, I suggest 
you could also try using python, like pandas, numpy and all these nice 
library.

By the way, I also have problem in using qualitative analysis software, 
namely NVIVO.

I decided that I would no longer pay someone sighted to help me navigate such systems with my own resources. I now put the work back onto the person wanting me to use that inaccessible system It's been quite easy really, starting with my supposed excessive annual leave problem. I was taking leave but unable to use the HR system to have it recorded or approved. When my balance got to three years' worth, I finally got a bit more attention from management and a satisfactory work around.
