Re: [AI] Fwd: [Special] [nvda] Announcement Only: Accessibility Issues with the Outlook for Windows Preview (will replace Mail, People, & Calendar apps in January 2024)

2023-11-17 Thread Saurav Hegde 
Hello,
How can you join this list?
I want to enquire about NVDA not announcing a page change in word.
No one on this list seems to know a way.
So, this list might help.

Regards,
Saurav
Student at Brihan Maharashtra College of Commerce, Pune

[AI] Fwd: [Special] [nvda] Announcement Only: Accessibility Issues with the Outlook for Windows Preview (will replace Mail, People, & Calendar apps in January 2024)

Subject: [Special] [nvda] Announcement Only: Accessibility Issues with the
Outlook for Windows Preview (will replace Mail, People, & Calendar apps in
January 2024)
To: 


I'm granting myself an exception to the NVDA-only rule simply because so
many among our membership do use the Windows 10/11 Mail App, and the
transition to Outlook for Windows in January will hit each and every one of
them.

Outlook for Windows is not, repeat, not, strictly inaccessible, but the way
in which things are accessed does not follow the paradigm that Microsoft
has used for accessing the ribbons for as long as the ribbon interface has
existed.  You can change the simplified ribbons (default) back to the
classic ribbons, but neither is accessed in the way all of us here are
accustomed to.

I have put the following feedback in to Microsoft via the feedback
hub: *Outlook
for Windows Preview - Main Menus (Home, View, Help) are inaccessible for
screen reader users via keyboard* 

I strongly suggest that anyone who is currently using the Windows Mail App
take a look at that feedback, upvote it at the very least, and preferably
upvote and add your own comments.  This is how attention gets drawn to
fixes that need to be made, and these need to be made quickly or else all
hell will break loose (and justifiably so) when who knows how many Windows
Mail app users wake up one January morning to Outlook for Windows that's
not accessible using the same techniques all Microsoft programs have been
using literally for decades now.
