Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by Congress in the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, and as revised in 2018, requires that electronic and information technology used by Federal agencies be accessible to people with disabilities.
This page provides information about Stata's Section 508 compliance, including a complete Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) documenting compliance.
All of Stata’s features are accessible to persons with disabilities through Stata’s command line interface and plain text output options. In addition, much of Stata's user interface is interoperable with common assistive technologies for vision-impaired users and for portions that are not, functionality can be accessed using the command line interface and plain text output options.
Federal employees or individuals requiring more information on Stata’s Section 508 compliance or with questions about Stata with regard to Section 508, should contact StataCorp at [email protected].
Name of Product/Version: Stata/Version 18
Report Date: 3/1/2024
Product Description: Stata is a complete, integrated software package that provides all the tools data science professionals need—data manipulation, visualization, statistics, and automated reporting.
Contact Information: [email protected]
Notes: StataCorp is committed to helping users with accessibility needs make the most out of their experience with Stata. For individual assistance, please reach out to [email protected] so that we can provide specialized support, internal best practices documents, and technical assistance.
All core functionality can be accessed through the command line interface. Some portions of the software, including results, are not designed to work with assistive technologies such as screen readers. The software can be put in a mode where results are output as plain text and will work with assistive technologies. To enable this mode, type the command set textresults on in the Command window. This mode can be disabled with the command set textresults off.
