Hi y'all,
Sorry for cross posting. I came across this on the NFB-Science list, and
I thought I'd pass it on here. IBM are looking for feedback on the
accessibility of SPSS, the statistical analysis package. If any of you
have experience/feedback on SPSS, and you are a screen reader user then
please do get in touch with:
Laurie Riekmann
Senior Manager Research and Development
Collaboration & Deployment Services
IBM Software Group, Business Analytics
Phone: 507-253-8120
e-mail: <mailto:lar@xxxxxxxxxx>lar@xxxxxxxxxx<mailto:lar@xxxxxxxxxx>
I'll leave the original mail at the end of this mail.
Cheers
Josh
> As some of you know, IBM acquired SPSS (a commonly used statistical
analysis software package) a couple of years ago. IBM has recently
become aware of some accessibility issues with SPSS when using JAWS and
other screen readers and is working to address them.
>
> I was told that they are looking for students or professionals who
use screen readers and have access to SPSS with whom they can work to do
accessibility testing as issues are resolved.
