[Athen] Data analysis software that works with screen reader

[Karthikeyan, Ramya via athen-list]

One of my screen reader students have used RStudio, but needed any charts or graphs to be made tactile as there were no alt text generated. This was 2 years ago and sometimes the student needed immediate access for in-class discussions...

Hi Erika,



For RStudio look at these resources (which has helped my student as well):

I have a student who needs data analysis software that works with a screen reader.  A brief Google search mentions Umwelt and RStudio, but I know very little about these and if they will meet the student’s needs.  From what I read it seems these may focus more on coding while the student needs something that focuses more on statistics (shoulder shrug).  My only experience with stats/data analysis was from a psych stats course I took over 10 years ago when SPSS was the preferred program.  Any suggestions?  Is anyone familiar with Umwelt or RStudio?



Thanks in advance!
