Using a Screen Reader
A number of screen readers are available on the market. IBM® SPSS® Modeler is configured to
support JAWSfor Windows using t he Java Access Bridge, which is installed along with SPSS
Modeler. If you have JAWS installed, simply launch JAWS before launching SPSS Modeler
to use this product.
Due to the nature of SPSS Modeler’s unique graphical representation of the data mining
process, charts and graphs are optimally used visually. It is possible, however, for you to
understand and make decisions based on output and models viewed textually using a screen reader.
Note: With 64-bit client machines, some assistive tec hnology features do not work. This is
because the Java Access Bridge is not designed for 64-bit operation.
Using the IBM SPSS Modeler Dictionary File
An SPSS Modeler dictionary file (Awt.JDF) is available for inclusion with JAWS. To use this file:
ENavigate to the /accessibility subdirectory of your SPSS Modeler installation and copy the
dictionary file (Awt.JDF).
ECopy it to the directory with your JAWS scripts.
Youmay already have a file named Awt.JDF on your machine if you have other JAVAapplic ations
running. In this case, you may not be able to use this dictionary file without manually editing the
dictionary file.

Using a Screen Reader with HTML Output

When viewing output displayed as HTML within IBM® SPSS® Modeler usin g a screen reader,
you may encounter some difficulties. A number of types of output are affected, including:
Output viewed on the Advanced tab for Regression, Logistic Regression, and F actor/PCA
nodes
Report node output
In each of these windows or dialog boxes, there is a tool on the toolbar that can be used to launch
the output into your default browser, which provides standard screen reader support. You can
then use the screen reader to convey the output information.
