Hi. Thanks for this info. Actually I wonder how LO behaves with voiceover, that is, is it possible to browse between toolbars, in the menus, the dialogs, etc. For example, is it easy to handle styles and charachters formatting? The question is asked to me by a blind user to do tests. I am aware

Hi :) I am mildly curious about how people work with screen-readers when they are completely dependant on them. I can often work without a mouse by using some keyboard short-cuts and using tab to go through menus. To some extent i've memorised some of 'the' keyboard (thanks to Mavis Beacon and ot

Hi. I've been a screen reader user since 1991 when I started out with DOS 3.X and so I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about this topic. When you are dependent on using a screen reader, it helps if you can memorize shortcut keys. The more keys you can memorize, the more efficien

Hi Jean-Philippe Well, I'd say that we have basic working accessibility support on Mac. It is by far the platform that needs most love when it comes to accessibility. But it is possible to work with VoiceOver to edit text, Calc sheets and so on. Basic text formatting such as bold, italic, font

Hi :) For people following the "Voice Recognition" threads i thought you might find this post interesting. If it's true then it explains a lot = especially about how this area seems to have gone backwards over the last 20 or so years instead of forwards. I wonder if anything could be done about i

Hi, Thanks for this excellent answer, full and clear. I will forward it to my friend. He uses Mac yes, and would like to know the accessibility level on LO. Unfortunately he doesn't speak English, but I do interface without problems. Thanks, Best regards, Le 03/12/2014 14:56, Niklas Johans
