Hi
I'm new to the list, fairly new to the product, a blind user utilising the NVDA
screen reader and this is my first post.
As a former Excel user, I cannot help but draw comparisons between the two
products in the way they interact with NVDA and for the fairly simplistic
spreadsheet requirements I have, there is not much to choose between them. I
do have a couple of issues which are annoying but not show-stoppers and they
may arguably be down to my ignorance of the way Calc works or a problem with
how NVDA and Calc interact, rather than accessibility issues but to me, the
distinction is blurred.
In Excel, the cell in focus is always selected (highlighted) and if I use
Control+c to copy it's value to the clipboard, NVDA will announceCopied to
clipboard. If I do the same thing in Calc, NVDA will announceNo
Selectionhowever, the cell value will be copied to the clipboard. This is also
the case if I use Control+Shift+Space toSelect all, all cells are copied to the
clipboard but NVDA announcesNo Selectionwhen I press Control+c.
The most annoying issue is how NVDA voices numbers. I formatted a column as
Currency, 2 decimal places, currency symbol £ and leading minus signs on
negative numbers. NVDA does not voice the currency symbol at all, even with
symbol verbosity set toAlland trailing zeroes on the fractional side of the
decimal point are truncated.
My sighted wife tells me the currency symbols and trailing zeroes are present
on screen and numbers in the column conform to the specified display format.
Examples -£273.40 is voiced by NVDA as -273.4 and £40.00 is voiced as 40. The
issue with trailing zeroes being truncated is also prevalent in numbers
formatted with decimal places.
I don't know what work has been done on the NVDA side to make Libra Office Calc
accessible but for the 2 issues described above, NVDA and Calc do not seem to
be talking to each other correctly.
Cheers
Chris
