Bug ID: 149488
Summary: Slide content not announced by screen reader in
Impress presentation mode
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]

Sample presentation
When using presentation mode in Impress, the slide content is not accessible:
It is not announced and there seems to be no way to navigate through it to have
it announced.
See this email on the accessibility mailing list, where the issue was reported
first: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/accessibility/msg01005.html
Steps to reproduce:
0) have a single screen setup, so that presenter console is not used (but
should also have a decent way to do this with presenter console active, s.a.
"Further notes" below)
1) start the NVDA screen reader on Windows
2) open attached sample presentation
3) switch to presentation mode, e.g. by pressing F5
4) switch to the 2nd slide by pressing "arrow right" key
5) try to navigate through the slide content to have it announced
Actual behaviour:
* in step 3: Screen reader announces that it presents the presentation, but
just gives the name of the presentation
* in step 4: Screen reader doesn't announce anything
* in step 5: There doesn't seem to be a way to navigate through the slide and
have its content announced. (At least I didn't find any.)
Expected behaviour:
It should be possible to have the slide content announced by the screen reader.
In a quick test with MS PowerPoint (in a single screen setup, dual screen is
behaving differently):
* in step 3, NVDA announces: "Slide show, slide 1", then reads out the full
slide content
* in step 4, likewise, just for the second slide
* using the arrow keys navigates within the slide, e.g. when pressing the "up"
or "down" keys, it moves down/up a bullet point and announces the text for the
newly focused item
* moving between slides happens using the space key (one slide forward) and the
backspace key (one slide back), as the arrow keys are used for navigation
within the slide content when the screen reader is active (s. above)
Further notes:
* The is similar with Orca on Linux. (It announces "Content placeholder 2
panel" when switching to second slide, though.)
* When using a dual screen setup and presenter console is active, at least
"Current Slide, Slide 1 of N", "Current Slide, Slide 2 of N",... is announced,
but I also didn't see a way to have the actual slide content announced or
navigate through it, so that also looks like it needs to be improved.
