Ken,

JAWS works acceptably well with Excel.  It also works with SPSS to some
degree.  There are custom scripts for JAWS with SPSS but these scripts may
lag behind the latest release of SPSS as it takes time to develop the custom
scripts for new versions of software.

Subject: JAWS and Statistics software


Our Math department is looking at software for teaching Statistics, and they
have asked for advice about accessibility with JAWS screenreader. They also
want to know whether Excel is user-friendly with JAWS. If you have any
information about this, please reply off-list (I'll post a summary if I get
any good replies).
Thank you,
Ken Love
