Hello. This is regarding Libreoffice 3.6.4 and its support for assistive technology. I'm using a Windows 7 Pro 32-bit machine installing the latest version of Java from the Ninite installer; JAB is enabled via the control panel under Ease of Access. My screen reader is NVDA 2012.3. While installing this latest version I was careful to check the box for enabling support for assistive technology. When I loaded Writer I received no feedback while navigating through menus. I know the keystrokes for enabling a.t. support in the Options dialog and I did this and then restarted Writer: this time I received a little more feedback. This means that it is likely that a.t. support was in fact disabled even though I checked the appropriate box during installation. I have checked with a sighted person who verifies that a.t. support is enabled in the options dialog. While menus spoke and I can receive text feedback while moving through a document dialog boxes are usually silent except for standard dialogs such as the Open dialog. As an example when I press alt-f4 I am prompted on whether I want to save changes to my open document. when I press the tab key I hear nothing where I should hear the names of the buttons as they gain focus. I also notice that when Writer opens I rarely receive feedback in the first document. when I open subsequent documents some audio feedback is presented. Can anyone verify these findings?
