  • Custom Forms with Web Components and "ElementInternals"
    1 project | dev.to | 14 Jul 2023
    NOTE: There is an accessibility bug in Safari and NVDA where labels are not properly associated to Form-Associated Custom Elements for screen readers. They are read fine with VoiceOver in Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edger, Brave, etc.) and Firefox on Mac and MS Narrator and JAWS on Windows. As a workaround, you can continue including your labels within your elements.
  • Does NVDA have a first letter nav feature like VoiceOver has?

    If that doesn't meet your need, I would encourage you to file an issue on our issue tracker at: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues
  • jaws vs nvda on a touch screen device
    1 project | /r/Blind | 8 May 2023
    We don't have a huge number of users relying on touch, and we know NVDA could be improved in this area, so we are always keen for feedback. The best place is to file an issue at: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues (Happy to have discussion here, but just in case I miss it, and in any case someone will still need to create an issue for any action items eventually).

    If you think this is an issue with NVDA, you can open an issue on Github.
  • How old is libre office work with NVDA?

    It's getting better. We originally didn't have any contact with anyone from the LO community to try to get any help from their side. But in recent years we've had support from a couple of LO developers and community members and support for LO is improving. As always though, if you use it and encounter any issues with NVDA, please do report them to us either in a message or email, or create an issue on our GitHub page: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues If it is a LibreOffice issue (rather than NVDA) then they also have an issue tracker: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/ And often it is hard to tell, so feel free to report it to us and we can ensure it gets reported with LO as well (or vice-versa).

    Even if you can't contribute to the code itself, this level of technical knowledge of the issue would definitely be worth writing up in an issue on https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues

    And there's still a lot of work for the third-party tools to do, too.

    I read somewhere that screen readers look for a flashing vertical line, to detect the caret position in systems that don't expose it via the OS's APIs. I can't find a reference for that right now, though.

  • NVDA question?
    1 project | /r/Blind | 26 Jan 2023
    Coming in late and without much new info I'm afraid. Good question though. I must admit, I'm not sure if we considered this situation. The one thing I can suggest, is if you are interested in the functionality, is creating an issue on our GitHub tracker here: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues

    Funny, I was thinking of submitting the same suggestion to their Github a bit ago. There may be a larger reason this has not been implemented.
