[Nfb-science] SAS and Python Programming

[Currin, Kevin]

Hi Nicholas

Have you used SAS Studio? It is now very accessible with a screenreader and you can make accessible graphs with audio output that you can listen to in a web browser. If not and you are interested, I could help you get set up with it.

Other than that, I use notepad or EdSharp for general code writing in all languages (python included). Editors like EdSharp can speak indentation levels, which is very helpful for python. However, you can also configure kaws (and probably NVDA) to speak indentation levels in any editor.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hello:

     I have used Notepad and Notepad++ on Windows machines. If you have
Mingw, you could use the vi or the ex editors. I also use a braille display
which makes it easier to read the code. Some people also use Textpad and
Edsharp.

Regards,

Robert

Hello,

I am a legally blind student considering doing a master's in statistics. I
have always done everything 100% visually with screen magnifiers (Zoomtext)
and different cctvs. Now I am starting the transition to doing everything to
almost everything non visually. This is because of all the inefficiencies I
have dealt with in doing computer programming as well as statistics with
only vision. Recently I have started using Python 2.7 and will use SAS very
soon, which I have used in the past. Is there a specific IDE or terminal
usage that would be the most accessible to use these programming languages
non visually?

Thank you,
Nicholas
