Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] LibeOffice VPAT compliance
Hi, I don't know if we are all on the same page about what providing a VPAT involves, so I am taking the liberty to butt in here to comment on few things that have been said in this thread. First of all, VPAT is a type of document defined by Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973, but that does not imply that it is written by lawyers. Creating a VPAT requires an accessibility audit by people who are thoroughly familiar with both the application being audited and the relevant accessibility criteria. (Lawyers will probably want to review the resulting report, but I doubt they are well equipped to write it.) Second, the accessibility of authoring tools such as those that make up LibreOffice can be viewed from two points of view: (a) the accessibility of the UI itself (can you use it using the keyboard alone, does it expose an accessibility API that screen readers can use, etc.) and (b) its ability to create accessible content (not only in ODF format but also in each of the output formats that the tool supports, e.g. HTML, PDF and the Microsoft formats). The accessibility checker that was discussed in a related thread supports authors in creating accessible content but does not help the tool meet the first category of accessibility requirements. Finally, an accessibility audit of an office suite is a big task. I regularly do accessibility audits of webpages and websites (as certified BITV auditor in Germany) and checking a single page can take up to a full day (depending on page complexity). Each of the single applications or components in LibreOffice (Writer, Calc, Impress, Base, Draw, Math) is more complex than most webpages. Due to the size of the task I would recommend to audit each application separately (to whoever ends up doing this) and that the USPTO should clarify which of the LibreOffice applications they need or need most (to prioritise which applications to audit first; e.g. they might not be interested in Draw). I might offer to make an estimate of how much time it may take to audit, e.g. LibreOffice Writer. If I do, I'll inform this list during the weekend.

Again, if my previous messages were not clear enough: we do not know about the VPAT compatibility of LibreOffice, because this is a mailing list to discuss accessibility issues and not to provide information about LibreOffice accessibility. The fact that you are using LibreOffice 6.4.6 is completely irrelevant for us because we do not have the information to answer your question, as the scope of the mailing list is completely different. We are volunteers supporting the LibreOffoce project and interested in accessibility, but we do not have the competence and the information to answer your question, which can only be provided by the legal entity behind LibreOffice, i.r.

For software, the OS can, and as oft as not, does make a huge difference in the accessibility of software. By way of example, my copy of Window Eyes won't run on Win10, but it will run on Win7. The version of LibreOffice that _RedHat_ distributes has some major differences from the version distributed from LibreOffice.org. The version of LibreOffice from _Canonical_, has significant differences with both the version distributed by _The Document Foundation_, and that distributed by_RedHat_. For your purposes, the issue is how much those differences affect a11y, which is why you need the VPAT from RedHat for their version of LibreOffice. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: accessibility+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/accessibility/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Dear Sir, LibreOffice is a free open source software, released by a not for profit foundation based in Germany: The Document Foundation. The source code of LibreOffice is re-packaged by Red Hat to be included in RHEL. You have sent your message to a mailing list manned by volunteers, who are dealing with accessibility features but not with accessibility legal compliance. We do not know enough the topic to provide a sensible answer and in any case we would not be able to issue the document you have requested.
