Assistive Technologies
Note To take advantage of accessibility support features, you must use
MathWorks products on a Microsoft Windows platform.
Tested Assistive Technologies
For R2006a, The MathWorks has tested the following assistive technologies:
• JAWS 4.5 and 5.0 (recommended) for Windows (screen reader) from Freedom
Scientific
• Built-in accessibility aids from Microsoft, including the Magnifier and
"sticky keys"
Use of Other Assistive Technologies
Although The MathWorks has not tested other assistive technologies, such as
other screen readers or ZoomText Xtra (screen magnifier) from Ai Squared,
The MathWorks believes that most ofthe accessibility support built into its
products should work with most assistive technologies that £U-e generally
similar to the ones tested.
If you use other assistive technologies than the ones tested. The MathWorks is
very interested in hearing fi-om you about your experiences.
Troubleshooting
This section identifies workarounds for some possible issues you may
encounter related to accessibility support in MathWorks products.
JAWS Does Not Detect When the MATLAB Installation Has Started
When you select setup. exe, the Windows copying dialog box opens and you are
informed. After the files have been copied, the installation splash screen opens,
and then the installer starts. However, JAWS does not inform you that the
installer has begun: the installer either starts up below other windows or
applications or it is minimized. Since the installer is not an active item, nothing
is read.
Therefore, check the Windows applications bar for the installer. After you go to
the installer, you can use JAWS to perform the installation.
