Hello, 
As far as I am aware, SPSS cannot be used independently with the JAWS (Job Access with Speech) screne reader. As a researcher in the Knowledge Media institute at The Open University and later as Adviser for students with visual disabilities, I had a great deal to do with advising Course Teams and Students on this matter and sighted assistance was always the answer. Without direct contact and input from Freedom Scientific on this matter, the situation is unlikely to change.

Subject: SPSS and creanreaders

Hello,
Does anyone have any experience of supporting VI students in accessing SPSS software using a screenreader (JAWS). This has been an ongoing issue for many years and we currently use support workers with SPSS knowledge to act as sighted guides with students.
Is there a way of making SPSS accessible to a screenreader?

Thanks
