Hi all, I am posting this, following a recent request from the USPTO for a VPAT compliance record for LibreOffice. This, to me, has been a question that I have often wondered how LibreOffice would be judged as an everyday working tool in governmental organizations where accessibility compliance is a must for adoption.
This led me to wonder how MSWord was responding to the growing demands of accessibility standards both from governments as well as educational and corporate entities. It appears that MS has dealt with this with providing an accessibility checker for all of its MS2010 product line and further. [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/improve-accessibility-with-the-accessibility-checker-a16f6de0-2f39-4a2b-8bd8-5ad801426c7f] Knowing that accessibility compliance may be a growing issue for institutional/corporate adoption, would it then make sense for the TDF/LibreOffice consider taking a close look at this particular item and perhaps adopt some kind of accessibility checker/aid for the suite? IMO, this would show the LibreOffice project's determination to leave no one LibreOffice project member behind due to any kind of accessibility need that could be circumvented by some kind of accessibility checker.
