Hi All, If JAWS can read graph information in Excel, does anyone know how accessible it would be to create a graph in Excel and copy it into a Word document? I may need to do this for an Economics class. Thanks.

I cannot remember where I read that, but I suspect it was in the "help" areas for JAWS in Excel. Has anyone else ever run across this? -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mario via Jfw Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2015 7:43 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list.

Graph functions and trace points made accessible with speech and audible tone. . Listen to entire graph, including special sounds for negative regions and axis crossing points. if you want to check it out for more ideas: https://shop.aph.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_Orion%20TI-84%20Plus% 20Talking%20Graphing%20Calculator_1-07340-00P_10001_11051 since you're an experienced programmer, you're more enabled to "make it so". but remember, newbie wanna be scriptwriters need to start from the bottom of the barrel... have you ever considered to join the JAWS scripting ml? not to shew you away from this ml, but you can pose more technical questions about scripting snafoos to get assistance from other experienced sdcripters. > On 8/20/2015 11:44 AM, Paul Martz via Jfw wrote: > I'll start by saying I don't know of any off-the-shelf graphing > solutions for visually impaired users.
