Hello and good day,
I am new here on the list and I would like to introduce myself briefly: My name is Frank and I am
in the process of going blind.This means that I can still see something, but I also need the screen
reader frequently. I am currently working with macOS BigSur and LIbreoffice 7.1.5.2. On a second
system I have Windows 10 with the same LO version.
Now to my problem:
The forms in my database are not accessible and I don't know how to set up the forms for screen
readers. I created the forms with the wizards and then entered the name of the control in the
properties of the form elements in the helptext.This means that I can still see something, but I
also need the screen reader frequently. I am currently working with macOS BigSur and LIbreoffice
7.1.5.2. On a second system I have Windows 10 with the same LO version.
Now to my problem:
The forms in my database are not accessible and I don't know what to do to set up the forms for
screen readers. I created the forms with the wizards and then entered the name of the control in
the properties of the form elements in the help text. Now I can at least work with the forms under
MacOS and its screen reader Voiceover. But under Windows with Jaws or NVDA I can't get any further.
Under NVDA I can't get to the next element at all (for example, with the Tab key). JAWS only reads
something out occasionally. Another attempt with Fedora Linux and the Screenrader Orca shows that
absolutely nothing is read out in a form, although something is entered under Help text.
Under MacOS, the table element cannot be used with voiceover either. Nothing is announced at all.
Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here or is Libreoffice not suitable for screen readers in
this area?
Since I did not get an answer to this problem in the German LO forum or in my community for the
blind, I hope to find more information here.
Many thanks already.
Frank
