Is jamovi accessible to the visually impaired?

Post by reason180 »

Institutions of higher education, in the United States are beginning to ban, from teaching labs, software that is not certified to meet national accessibility standards. See https://www.section508.gov/sell/vpat And here's and example of one university's sotwre accessibility policy:https://accessibility.osu.edu/digital-a ... standards/

Does jamovi meet these standards? If so, it will be easier for American institutions, and individual instructors at those institutions, to adopt and/or continue using jamovi.

Hi Jonathon,

Has there been any progress on this? I use Jamovi in my statistics classes instead of SPSS now but I may need to show my college soon that Jamovi is accessible (has a VPAT: https://www.section508.gov/sell/vpat) in order to continue doing so.

Thanks!
