Re: Writer not accessible on Mac

[Adam Samec]

Hello,

for those interested, I found out that at least LibreOffice Writer (I have 
tried 5.3.0) is actually able to read back text in the document edit field when 
typing or navigating within the document if I enable the "Book mode with two 
pages as in an open book". Although with some inconveniences, particularly, 
each line of text is treated as a separate edit field which causes VoiceOver to 
announce extra information each time you move to another line.

However, there are more accessibility issues in LibreOffice, for instance, some 
pop-up menus are not working and some parts of Preferences cannot be accessed 
or lead to an application crash, that is, almost the same problems as in 
OpenOffice, but at least the most important thing, screen reader feedback in 
the document content, is working in LibreOffice, as opposed to OpenOffice.

Best regards
Adam Samec

Writer not accessible on Mac

[Adam Samec]

Hello,

since the current OpenOffice Writer 4.1.3 is not accessible using VoiceOver on 
Mac, mainly as the document edit field gives no feedback when typing or 
navigating, but there are more problems, could someone please suggest me an 
older version which works with the screen reader? I also tried 3.0.0 and the 
same issue exists there.

The related bug report is here:

By the way, LibreOffice exhibits  the same issue.

Kind regards
Adam
