Re: Blizzard working on accessibility of battle.net & looking for feedback
Ok.
you will need to search for battle.net downloads one of those links will go to blizzard's site.
Select apps heading and hit it.
Now tab about, you won't be able to active read that section of the website normally but you will be able to tab.
Eventually you will find battle.net client for windows, expand that, then download, its a bit crazy interface but you will get there.
Click that file and install it.
use nvda capslock and r for ocr,make sure you have another window like your downloads folder open.
Read what is on the screen.
hit continue.
alt tab back and forth a couple times.
do the same again.
It will update, click install.
Keep doing that till its done hit finnish.
The same will happen on uninstall.
Now login.
1.
Open battle.net, and it will appear with new account.
create it like so. there will be labeled fields for email phone, etc.
select your country as you usually would, if not detected which it should be by default.
Now enter your birthday in mm/dd/yyyy
You can't read the box, so don't try, locate the mm spinable and type it in, tab and do the same with the day.
Note due to inaccessible tracking you can't read what you put in, you can't do anything with it but type but you can get it done.
You can create the account.
Right now just your email will work.You will have to varify your email address from a link in your email.
On the website you can accessibly add a mobile phone number and connect to just about everything you can think of including installing and using an authenticator app, set security questions, etc.
Accessing settings.
You can't do much from the main window right now so go back to your desktop with windows and d tab to system tray and rightclick with the app key or the function and page down or whatever key is your rightclick simulation or shift f10 or whatever.
Select settings, this menu reads.
select beta and hit space, hit get started.
wait for a few minutes and finally hit restart.
To uninstall the game client rightclick the battle.net client in system tray and hit exit.
uninstall as you would usually do, once you hit uninstall wait till it appears, use nvda r or whatever and get ocr up, hit yes.
alt tab back and forth or enter and exit start menu or whatever then do it again.
It will finnish, hit finnish and you are done.
Right now the client is not much use for us blind people certainly you can't chat if you can't read and actively edit your stuff.
You can tab about in the client and read stuff.
The website after you login to the account though is playable and usable to a point.
Is it worth trying it right now?
Probably not, its not really ready pluss I have sent a bug report but others can try and see.
