Bug ID: 167697
Summary: Android Viewer is not screen reader accessible
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.0.0 alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: accessibility
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Android Viewer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Currently, document content in LibreOffice Viewer for Android is not accessible
to assistive technology like screen readers.
Quoting a Google Play Review:
> it needs improvement. I am a screenreader user and when I open any document
> the text of the document shows in an an inaccessible way which the
> screenreader doesn't read. make it more accessible for the blind users.
This is related to the tiled rendering approach used by Android Viewer:
The app only receives tiles/images of the document, which means they don't
contain the semantics of text and document structure.
There was work done for Collabora Online to add semantic information for a11y
in this NLNet funded project:
https://nlnet.nl/project/LO-Accessible/
Potentially, the LibreOfficeKit part of this could somehow be (re)used in
Android Viewer as well, but at least the client side is still missing.
Current master (where the above problem applies) is
4caf129378204a74da7fa226870d97a44cc142ff.
