[BlindRUG] [EXTERNAL EMAIL] SPSS and JAWS

[Robin Williams]

Hi again Amy,

Some Googling threw up some relevant looking results, eg
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spss-statistics/27.0.0?topic=software-windows
It seems you must enable the Java access bridge, and configure your system path. That URL contains instructions. These seem a little convoluted and tricky to follow, but hopefully you or someone else can figure them out.
The encouraging thing is that that URL references version 27. They have just released version 28, so it appears that accessibility hasn't been completely forgotten about since version 20. Of course some JAWS scripting might further improve the experience.

HTH,
Robin

I am regularly asked as to the accessibility of SPSS. Having never used it, I can never give a definitive answer. I have read differing reports over the years, but it would certainly be very useful if anyone can comment on its current accessibility.

Hello,

I am looking to set up a meeting with someone that will help me to get SPSS working with JAWS? I have downloaded it but it is not working with JAWS. I would like to do a Zoom meeting or JAWS tandum where someone can gain control of my computer and we can look at it. Thank you.
