This guide describes Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager accessibility and compatibilityfeatures. For information on the recommended screen reader and magnifier to use withCalculation Manager, refer to the Hyperion Calculation Manager Readme.

Enabling AccessibilityFor Calculation Manager, Oracle supports the JAWS 8 screen reader and the MAGiC 10.5 screenmagnifier. For additional information, refer to the documentation included with these products.

Note: Oracle does not recommend using JAWS and MAGiC simultaneously or using MAGiCas a screen reader.

If you are using JAWS Screen Reading Software, we recommend using the InternetExplorer browser.

Setting Preferences for JAWSPreferences for JAWS should be set to allow JAWS to read the page properly and react to userinterface updates. MAGiC does not require any configuration changes to work with CalculationManager.

Following is a list of the preferences that you need to customize in JAWS.

l You should disable Forms Mode Auto Off in JAWS.

To disable Forms Mode Auto Off in JAWS, select Utilities, then Configuration Manager, thenSet Options, then HTML Options, then Misc, then Forms Mode Auto Off.

l You should disable Virtual PC Cursor when using DHTML applications, and enable it whenreading regular documents.

To set the default state of the cursor, do either of these tasks:

m Use the shortcut key Ctrl-Alt-NumPadPlus to toggle Virtual PC Cursor.

m Select Utilities, then Configuration Manager, then Set Options, then Advanced Options,and then Use Virtual PC Cursor.

l You should disable the Control Group Name preference in JAWS Verbosity Options. Thisprevents redundant reading of controls caused by the way the user interface is laid out.

To disable the Control Group Name preference in JAWS Verbosity Options, selectUtilities, then Configuration Manager, then Set Options, then Verbosity Options, then BeginnerPreferences (or whichever verbosity level is selected), and then Control Group Name.
