Hi I hope this helps
Page 1 Enabling JAWS for SPSS for Windows SPSS for Windows offers accessibility for all users, as well as specific support for users with visual and other functional impairments. This document describes how to enable JAWS R screen-reading software to work with this product. To enable JAWS you need to: E Download and modify a more recent script file than the one that ships with JAWS. E Copy the dictionary file to the same folder as the script. E Enable the Java Access Bridge. This step is necessary only if you plan to use the Tree Editor, the Chart Editor, or Predictive Enterprise Services. Downloading and Modifying the Script File JAWS ships with a set of script files for SPSS for Windows. Although the file creation date for these files is relatively recent, the scripts that they contain were written in 1999. JAWS will work better with SPSS for Windows if you use the 2002 version of the script file, which you can download from the Freedom Scientific web site. E Go to the folder that contains the SPSS for Windows script files that shipped with JAWS and rename the files or move them to a different folder. If you are using JAWS 6.x or 7.x, these files are located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\7.0\SETTINGS\enu. If you are using JAWS 5.x, these files are located in the \SETTINGS\ENU folder in the JAWS installation folder. E Go to http://www.freedomscientifi <http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.cfm?QC=426> c.com/fs_support/BulletinView.cfm?QC=426 and download the zip file containing the 2002 SPSS for Windows scripts. E Extract the script files and put them in the folder that contained the old script files. If you are using JAWS 6.x or 7.x, put the files in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\7.0\SETTINGS\enu. If you are using JAWS 5.x, put the files in the \SETTINGS\ENU folder in the JAWS installation folder. E All the new script files are named SPSSWIN, but each has a different extension. Rename every file to SPSS for Windows. Do not change the extensions. E Now you need to modify SPSS for Windows.jss so that it includes the correct file. If you are using JAWS 6.x or 7.x, launch the JAWS Script Manager and open the file. If you are using JAWS 5.x, open the file in Notepad or a similar text editor. E Search for include "spsswin.jsm" to find the include statement that you need to change. 1 _____ Page 2 2 Enabling JAWS for SPSS for Windows E In the include statement, change spsswin to SPSS for Windows . E Save the file. (If you are using the Script Manager, note that saving the file recompiles the script.) E Launch JAWS. E Launch SPSS for Windows. You should hear JAWS say that it's using a script written in February 2002. Copying the Dictionary File We have created a new SPSS dictionary file for use with JAWS 7.10. It has not been tested with earlier versions of JAWS. Although you are not required to use the SPSS dictionary file, it contains the correct pronunciations of statistical terms that JAWS mispronounces. In addition, it removes "dashes" from a number of terms. For example, if you use the dictionary, "chi-square" is read as "chi square" rather than "chi dash square." E Go to the Accessibility folder on the CD-ROM and copy the SPSS for Windows.jdf file. E Paste the file into the folder that contains the JAWS script files for SPSS for Windows. If you are using JAWS 6.x or 7.x, paste the file in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\7.0\SETTINGS\enu. If you are using JAWS 5.x, paste the file in the \SETTINGS\ENU folder in the JAWS installation folder. E Launch JAWS. E Launch SPSS for Windows. E Open a data file. E >From the menus choose: Analyze One-Sample T Test If the dictionary file is being used, JAWS reads "One Sample T Test" instead of "One dash Sample T Test." Enabling the Java Access Bridge The Chart Editor, the Tree Editor, and Predictive Enterprise Services are written in Java. If you plan to use these portions of SPSS with JAWS, you need to enable the Java Access Bridge. To enable the Java Access Bridge, you need to: Set the location of the Java Access Bridge. Replace the default Java accessibility.properties file. Setting the Location of the Java Access Bridge E >From the Start menu, open the Control Panel . _____ Page 3 3 Enabling JAWS for SPSS for Windows E Double-click the System icon. E In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab. E Click Environment Variables . E In the Environment Variables dialog box, scroll through the System Variables list and select the Path variable. E Click Edit . E At the beginning of the Variable Value text box, type the path to the SPSS for Windows installation folder followed by \JRE\bin; . For example, if SPSS for Windows is installed in C:\Program Files\SPSS, type: C:\Program Files\SPSS\JRE\bin; E Click OK . Replacing the Java accessibility.properties File E Go to the \JRE\lib folder in the SPSS for Windows installation folder. For example, if SPSS for Windows is installed in the folder C:\Program Files\SPSS, go to C:\Program Files\SPSS\JRE\lib. E Rename the accessibility.properties file or move it to a different folder. E Go to the Accessibility folder on the CD-ROM and copy the accessibility.properties file. E Paste the file into the \JRE\lib folder in the SPSS for Windows installation folder. The Java Access Bridge will load the next time you launch SPSS for Windows. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mich Sent: Wednesday, 29 April 2009 2:08 AM To: JAWS-Users-List @jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Question about Java and Jaws 7.0 Hi.
