Thanks for pointing to these. I've at least linked them with each other 
for now (via the "See also" field in Bugzilla).

Marco Zehe provided useful input earlier that I copied to comment 1 in
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149488 back then.

Reading that suggests that making this work properly will likely be 
quite some work in both, LibreOffice and screen readers.

Switching the slides using the arrow keys does work for me.
When just using a single screen, nothing is announced, so this may not 
be noticeable for a blind person.

I can confirm what Jason wrote, though:

If I use a dual screen setup and the presenter console is enabled 
("Tools" -> "Options" -> "LibreOffice Impress" -> "General" -> "Enable 
Presenter Console" is active), at least the newly active slide number is 
announced, e.g. "Current slide, slide 2, 2 of 2". (The slide content is 
not announced then either, though.)

Farhan, are you using a single screen?

Best regards,
Michael
