Dear R-Experts, a student of mine tries to use the Windows-Rconsole with screen reading software (she is blind), and cannot access the command line (Menus are ok). The company which produces her screen reader tells her that this is due to the cursor used in Rconsole, which is static, not blinking. They maintain that if the cursor could be changed to a blinking one, she should be able to access the command line and outputs.
For my last exam she used R in a Dosbox as workaround, but encountered other problems, esp. with scrolling. So: Is it possible to change the cursor type/behavior in R-Console? She uses R 2.8.1, Windows 2000, and screenreader Virgo 4.6 from Baum Retec, if that is any help. Your assistance with this problem and any other tips for teaching R to blind users will be much appreciated, Rainer Scheuchenpflug Dr. Rainer Scheuchenpflug Lehrstuhl für Psychologie III Röntgenring 11 97070 Würzburg Tel: 0931-31-82185 Fax: 0931-31-82616 Mail: scheuchenpf...@psychologie.uni-wuerzburg.de Web: http://www.izvw.de ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
