[nfbcs] Matlab accessibility problem

[Nicole Torcolini]

What operating system, including bits, do you have? Do you have the correct
version of Java? The JAB switch  only works if the path variable includes
the path to your Java installation, which sometimes is not set
automatically.

Subject: [nfbcs] Matlab accessibility problem

Hello Everyone, 

I am taking a course that requires matlab. In class the other day, we all
installed Matlab using CDs. However, I found out that extra steps are needed
to make Matlab accessible with jaws. I found these here:
http://www.kxcad.net/cae_MATLAB/techdoc/matlab_env/bqwp009-1.html
These instructions say that the CD installation of Matlab edits the correct
environment variable and turns on the Java access bridge. The only steps
after this were to create an accessibility.properties file and move it into
the correct folder in the Matlab package. I did this, and I still cannot get
jaws to work with Matlab.

The main problem that I can think of is that we tried installing Matlab
through one CD, and failed. We then used another CD, so there were multiple
partial installations before a complete installation was achieved. I'm
thinking that this may have altered the environment variable. The variable
currently looks like this:
C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013a\runtime\win64;C:\Program
Files\MATLAB\R2013a\bin;

Does this look out of the ordinary?

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am using Matlab 13a, windows 7, and jaws 12.

Thanks,

Kevin
