I’m wondering if someone else who is using the NVDA screen reader could confirm the following issue. NVDA has a command which allows the user to hear the contents of the entire document from the cursor position to the end of the file, unless the control key is pressed to silence the speech. This key, by default, is insert-down arrow. For folks who aren’t familiar with screen readers, the insert key on the numeric keypad is often used as a modifier key, just as we often use keys such as the alt or control keys to perform specific functions when combined with other keys. Pressing the insert key along with the down arrow is NVDA’s continuous read command. Make sure numlock is turned off. With OpenOffice Beta Writer, NVDA seems to stop reading after a few lines. I’m guessing this is an NVDA issue and, if it is, I will see if a ticket has been filed on their bug tracker regarding the problem. If it has not, I’ll report it. If, for some reason, the issue is with OO I wanted to let someone know about it in case it can be fixed by an OO developer.
I am not sure, if the following has impact on NVDA document reading function. As far as I remember only the visible part of a text document in Writer is available to AT tools via the accessibility API. Thus, it might be that NVDA just read the text which it could retrieve from OpenOffice Writer.
Could you check, if NVDA reads all the visible text and then stops? Best regards, Oliver.
