[BlindRUG] [EXTERNAL EMAIL] Re: Greetings from RStudio

[Ahmed Hamdy]

Hi Garry and hi all,
Thanks so much for sharing that with us Garry, I personally tried different softwares and unfortunately so far I can’t find an accessible one, I hope that RStudio would improve.
For all, can anyone tell me how to get R for Mac? And whether there is any podcasts/articles on how to use it with screen readers specially VoiceOver?

Thanks and best regards

Ahmed

It'll take a lot to persuade me away from my current workflow of Emacs and ESS, but I'm more than happy to test R Studio releases as they come out and provide feedback.
