Bug ID: 160982
Summary: Libre Office doesn't work with Microsoft Narrator
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.3.0 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: docs4...@aol.com
Description:
Using Windows 11 Narrator, I was not able to use Libre Office. When I pressed
enter on the desktop icon, I couldn't put focus on items like Writer, Calc,
etc: Narrator didn't "see" anything. Then I switched screen readers (to NVDA)
to open Writer, and using Narrator again, I received no spoken feedback while
typing, when using Narrator reading commands, or when trying to access the
menus via the alt key. In other words, Libre Office is completely unusable with
Narrator. Please improve accessibility for blind users by making Libre Office
work with MS Narrator.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Windows, start Narrator with ctrl+windows+enter.
2. Open Libre Office.
3. Try using Libre Office with Narrator commands.
Actual Results:
Screen reader is unable to focus on items in initial screen/menu so no useful
spoken feedback is provided. Within the individual apps, no spoken feedback is
provided for text/data entry and readback, and focus issue appears to persist
in menus.
Expected Results:
I expect to hear menu content as I navigate. I epxect to interact with menus
and menu items. I expect to hear text/data during and after entry. In other
words, I expect to use Libre Office with Narrator as I do with other screen
readers, like NVDA.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
It should be usable by a totally blind person using MS Narrator.
