Re: Differences between Microsoft Word for Ipad and Microsoft Office Mobile was RE: Does Microsoft Office Run on the iPhone and iPod?

[Christopher Chaltain]

Hmm, I don't recall ever saying the two companies were equal in their 
commitment to accessibility. I was responding to someone who felt that 
since some new Microsoft products for the iPhone and iPad had some 
issues with accessibility that this was indicative of Microsoft's lack 
of commitment to accessibility. I was further pointing out that I don't 
see the need to bash another company or another company's product line. 
People can point out how great Apple and the iPhone are with respect to 
accessibility without running down another company.


I've never found Safari to be accessible on the Windows platform. I 
haven't used it myself, but I've heard that the iCloud Control Panel has 
some accessibility issues. I've also had to wait for screen readers on 
the Windows platform to catch up with iTunes updates after accessibility 
was broken in iTunes, and of course, iTunes didn't start out to be 
accessible on Windows. Apple had to work with screen readers, who had to 
work pretty hard to make iTunes accessible under Windows. I don't use 
this as an example to knock Apple's commitment to accessibility though.


I do use Narrator on Windows, but for the bulk of my work, I use a third 
party screen reader, such as NVDA or JAWS. It is true that these 
companies work hard to provide an accessible experience for Windows and 
Microsoft products, but Microsoft also has to be committed to making 
their products accessible and working with the screen reader vendors. 
There are plenty of applications on Windows that aren't accessible 
because their developers don't make the effort to make their products 
accessible. People may not like the decision, but Microsoft didn't chose 
to limit Narrator's functionality in the dark. They did reach out to the 
blindness community before deciding not to develop their own screen reader.


Microsoft has developed an accessibility API, participates in standard 
setting bodies regarding accessibility and follows those standards with 
their own products. This isn't the same kind of commitment that you see 
in Apple, but it isn't the same as not being committed at all.


Every job I've had for the last 15 or so years, has required that I work 
with an Office suite, including documents, spread sheets and 
presentations. I've been able to perform these jobs independently with a 
third party screen reader and Microsoft products. Maybe Numbers has been 
accessible on the Mac that whole time, but my understanding is that it's 
been challenging to use for a blind person until recently. It's not a 
guarantee that a Microsoft product will be accessible, but when I hear 
that we're using a new app from Oracle, Dovico or some other company, I 
get pretty anxious wondering how accessible it'll be. I get a lot more 
anxious than I get when I hear we'll be using a new Microsoft product.


It's true that Windows Phone isn't accessible, and Microsoft needs to be 
taken to task on this. Tablets running Windows RT are accessible though, 
and Narrator has been greatly improved. Tablets running Windows are 
obviously accessible, and the relatively new convertible devices are 
accessible and offer some great flexibility to the blind person who 
wants to use a tablet, but also wants to create their content with a 
full blown keyboard.


I realize each product will have their fan boys, but there are many of 
us out there who are either using Windows because we like it or we need 
to use it because we'd be unemployed otherwise. I don't see a need to 
bash what someone else is using, especially with dated or misleading 
information, just because it isn't what someone else uses.

No, the two companies are not equal as to their levels of commitment to 
accessibility.

[Christopher Chaltain]

It's a good thing we don't pass judgment on Apple's commitment to 
accessibility based on how well they support their applications on their 
competitors platforms.


I haven't used their mobile app for the iPhone, but I have used their 
web interface for Outlook on my iPhone with Safari, and I was able to do 
everything I needed to do, such as move messages to folders, delete 
messages, reply to messages and compose new messages.


I've recently started using Windows again for work, I'd been using 
Ubuntu almost exclusively for the last three years on my previous job, 
so I'm not a Microsoft fan boy by any means. I will say this about 
Microsoft though, every application I need to use for my job that comes 
from Microsoft is accessible, and I work in a shop that uses Microsoft 
products for almost everything. This includes Outlook, Word, Excel and 
so on. There's no way I could do my job without Microsoft's commitment 
to accessibility, and there's no other company that offers the range of 
accessible programs that Microsoft does allowing someone to even do the 
job that I currently have.


IMHO, there's no reason to toss off these gratuitous messages bashing 
other companies. This is an list for Apple products, so nothing 
constructive is served, and it just makes all of us look petty.

Yes it does work because the iPad Mini is still an iPad.  It's only smaller.

Yes, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and excel for iPad work on the iPad mini. 
They are three separate programs to download.

The app I've been talking about is "Microsoft Office Mobile" which is free and

There has been some confusion which I may have contributed to, but also if
folks would be careful to use real app names, things would not get quite as
confused.

The app I've been talking about is "Microsoft Office Mobile" which is free
and is free for home use.  It works with OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) and
only Office 2007 and above documents that have the "x" at the end of the
file extension, like ".docx" or "xlsx", etc.

Microsoft also released "Microsoft Word for iPad" which requires an Office
365 subscription if you want to edit documents.
It is only for the iPad.
Apparently, it will also edit older .doc files.

I do not have an iPad or an Office 365 account so am hoping that Microsoft
will make the "Microsoft Office Mobile" app which works on the iPhone, iPod
Touch and iPad, fully accessible with VoiceOver.
My sighted wife can edit documents quite easily with it and VoiceOver will
read the documents, but you can't edit them with VoiceOver.

Re: Does Microsoft Office Run on the iPhone and iPod?

[Nimit]

Hi, all, 
OK!  I feel like I created the little confusion so I am here to support my 
opinion with some resources.  It is true that there are several apps for the 
iPad, word, powerpoint, and excell.  I have pasted links for everything in the 
bottom of my message as soon as I finish writing what I have to say.  I am 
talking about the Microsoft Word app for iPad.  In addition, I have pasted the 
link for the podcast from the Flying Blind weekly news letter email.  I agree 
that it does not announce style but with the Microsoft 365 subscription, you 
can read and edit.  Without the subscription, you can only read.  I have not 
bought the subscription, but have seen in use in the podcast and in person off 
of somebody whom I know.  Now, here are the links that I brought.  I have the 
links for each app for the iPad separately and the link for the podcast.  It is 
almost like apple iSweet which includes Pages, keynote and numbers.  So, here 
it is.  

Podcast:  
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3869538/How%20Accessible%20Is%20Microsoft%20Office%20On%20iPad.mp3
Microsoft Word app for the iPad:  
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-word-for-ipad/id586447913?mt=8
Microsoft Powerpoint app for iPad:  
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-powerpoint-for-ipad/id586449534?mt=8
Microsoft Excell for iPad:  
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-excel-for-ipad/id586683407?mt=8
Hope that helps, 
Thanks!

Re: Does Microsoft Office Run on the iPhone and iPod?

[Deb Lewis]

You must have an Office 365 subscription It's $9.95 a month I think. gives you 
a couple of computers and a tablet access for that price. 
And it's quite accessible once you do. My frustration though is that VO doesn't 
read any style information like headings. But you can both read and edit if you 
have a subscription. I've only done this on the iPad. Don't know if the IPhone 
apps are accessible as well. It's not the same app so that's why I'm mentioning 
this, they're often not  equal.

Re: Does Microsoft Office Run on the iPhone and iPod?

[Len Burns]

I believe I heard the same podcast. If so, on the iPad, there are actually 
several apps not one. The app for Excel, Word, and PowerPoint are separate 
apps. It is not one app. If it works as well as it appeared to lin the  demo, 
it might motivate me to get an iPad. Being able to do that in the field would 
be very useful to me.

RE: Does Microsoft Office Run on the iPhone and iPod?

[Richard Turner]

Could you send me the link to that podcast?
I don't think editing works with VoiceOver.

For home use, you do not need a subscription, it is free.

I hope we are talking about the same app, Microsoft Office Mobile.

RE: Does Microsoft Office Run on the iPhone and iPod?

[Richard Turner]

First, right now, the mobile app does not work for editing or creating 
documents with VoiceOver.
If you want to read files you have created you will need a free Microsoft 
account and access to the "OneDrive" cloud service.  I believe the assumption 
is that you have Microsoft Office on a computer that you have created your 
.docx files that can be stored on the OneDrive cloud service.

I do not know if you create a Microsoft account, if that automatically gives 
you a OneDrive account and the 7GB of storage that comes with it.

But, like I say, right now, unless you already have Microsoft documents you 
just want to be able to read on your iPhone, it is not much use to VoiceOver 
users.

Hi Eric and all,

I looked in the support/help info on the app and as I was suspecting, you
can call the same Microsoft Accessibility support phone number that you can
now call for any issues with Microsoft software if you are using any
adaptive software/hardware, which I will do later this morning.

The number is:

800-936-5900

Hours are 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday and 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Saturday and Sunday.

   


I found them very helpful when I ran into a problem shortly after getting my
Windows 8.1 laptop.

I just read the end of the information in the app description, and it says:

"* Sign in with a free Microsoft account to create, edit and save documents

So, a free Microsoft account is all that is needed for home use.  If you
have a business, then Office 365 subscription is required.

Here is what it says about that:

   


"use. A qualifying Office 365 subscription is required to create, edit and
save documents

for business use. Qualifying plans include:

.Office 365 Small Business Premium

.Office 365 Midsize Business

.Office 365 Enterprise E3 and E4 (Enterprise and Government)

.Office 365 Education A3 and A4

.Office 365 ProPlus"

   


I think I will call Microsoft Accessibility tomorrow and ask them who to
contact about accessibility for their app.

   


If you read the entire description of the editing features in the app, this
looks great if they will only include voiceOver support.

   


Richard

RE: Does Microsoft Office Run on the iPhone and iPod?

[Richard Turner]

Yes, here is the full description from the app store:

Description

Microsoft Office Mobile is the official Office companion optimized for your 
iPhone.

You can access, view and edit your Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft

PowerPoint documents from virtually anywhere. Documents look like the originals,

thanks to support for charts, animations, SmartArt graphics and shapes. When you

make quick edits or add comments to a document, the formatting and content 
remain

intact.*

KEY FEATURES:

Access documents from virtually anywhere:

•Cloud – With your phone, you can access Office documents stored on OneDrive, 
OneDrive

for Business, or SharePoint.

•Recent Documents – Office Mobile is cloud-connected. The documents you’ve 
recently

viewed on your computer are readily available on your phone in the recent 
documents

panel.

•Email Attachments – You can view and edit Office documents attached to email 
messages.*

Office documents look stunning:

•Great-Looking Documents - Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents look great on 
your

phone, thanks to support for charts, animations, SmartArt Graphics, and shapes.

•Optimized for phone - Word, Excel and PowerPoint are optimized for the small

•Resume Reading - When opening a Word document from OneDrive or OneDrive for 
Business

on your phone, it automatically resumes at the place where you left off reading,

slides

faster, while speaker notes help you practice your presentation.

Just checking -- I had thought that perhaps Office was designed for olnly the 
iPad because of the larger screen area. Is it also available for the iPhone and 
iPod?
Thanks.

Hi Eric and all,

I looked in the support/help info on the app and as I was suspecting, you can 
call the same Microsoft Accessibility support phone number that you can now 
call for any issues with Microsoft software if you are using any adaptive 
software/hardware, which I will do later this morning.

The number is:

800-936-5900

Hours are 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday and 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM 
Saturday and Sunday.

 

I found them very helpful when I ran into a problem shortly after getting my 
Windows 8.1 laptop.

 

Richard

Hi Richard,

 

If you find out who to contact about accessibility with the Office 
app please share.  I'd like to add my voice as that would be a very useful 
productivity app for me and I'm sure many of us.
