My testing here at NAU in 2015 had the same general (poor) results as Patrick found. I echo Ron's suggestion of R, but it isn't something a faculty member can switch to on the fly, just like they couldn't switch to any other stats program with no preparation.

I did some testing with a statistics specialist here at UCLA in summer 2015, & the results were very unsatisfactory. Jaws could track tabular data in some screens but not others. In particular, Jaws would report the type of output table being produced, but couldn't read the table itself. The Jaws-Java-SPSS combination crashed frequently.

Word at the time was that IBM is not producing any new versions beyond SPSS 23.

IBM has a document on setting up SPSS for use with JAWS:

IBM(r) SPSS(r) Statistics has been tested with JAWS. To enable JAWS and other assistive technology products to work with IBM SPSS Statistics, you need to complete the following steps. Note that the installer for IBM SPSS Statistics provides an option for enabling JAWS. If you chose this option, some steps were completed automatically during installation.

Set the location of the Java Access Bridge. If you chose to enable JAWS during installation, this step is not necessary.
Replace the Java accessibility.properties file. If you chose to enable JAWS during installation, this step is not necessary.
For JAWS, copy the JAWS dictionary file from the Accessibility folder in the IBM SPSS Statistics installation directory.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if Jaws works well, or at all, with the stats program, SPSS? If so, what version of Jaws?

Thanks for any information on this.

Best regards,

Russell
