Hi Christophe

I believe that the big issue here is that the contents of dropdown lists are not at all accessible on Mac. You can see the effect on LibreOffice dialogs such as Insert -> Manual break. You see the listbox Style, if you select that listbox and try to browse it VoiceOver does not announce any content.

I'll try to find time to write a proper bug report as soon as possible.

Regards,
Niklas

Hi :)
I am trying to forwards this to the "Accessibility" mailing list just
in case anyone there has a good answer.
Sorry for my late response. odt2braille is an extension, so it has the
same accessibility limitations as all LibreOffice extensions that create a
user interface. The extension system in LibreOffice and OpenOffice does
not allow us to explicitly add labels to drop-down lists and other UI
elemennts (except buttons). As a consequence, screen readers are left to
guess which label belongs to which buttons based on their position.
Probably, the only way to make odt2braille accessible is rewriting it
entirely in C++ in order to embed it into OpenOffice and LibreOffice
instead of installing it as an extension. So far, no one has offered to do
this.

Best regards,

Christophe

Hi, i need help with a problem i found in libreoffice. I wanted to use
the program ware to convert documents into pef files so i can emboss
them on my braille embosser. The issue is that i’m blind and have to use
voiceover on my mac. When i started libreoffice and open the extension
file for braille everything worked perfectly, but when i shall set the
settings for the embosser conversion in format menu (braille) the
problem came. The popup-buttons dint work with the screenreader witch
means that i can’t get the settings done. I asked for help and thought
that this might just be one time i need to adjust this parameters so
thats okay. Than i should open the file-menu and hit export to braille.
I did so and the problem came again. Here i need to select the filetype
(per) each time i shall export something and the popup thing dosnt work.
What to do?

Best regards Markus.
