Hello all - I have a few members in my community who are blind and use screen readers. Every 10 weeks we post a voting poll to solicit member selection for our next group discussion. I’ve looked through the threads on accessibility but cannot locate whether there is a solution I can implement for th…

Thanks for your report @Heather13 , we will look into this shortly.

Appreciate the support! Thank you.

Hey there, I took a look at this using the NVDA screen reader for windows. I was table to navigate to a poll in a topic, advance through the list of options, and cast my vote with the space button. Further tabbing took me to the “vote” button located at the bottom of the poll, and pressing enter sa…

@jordan.vidrine - Thank you again for so quickly looking into this! According to the member: “The screen reading software that enables me to read web pages, does not find any circle next to the book’s name which could be clicked to show my vote. In addition, if the circle is not visible, we are ins…

I’ll dive into this some more this week and report back with some clarifying questions. Thanks!

Just checking in to see if there is more guidance or resolution here :thinking:

Unfortunately, no progress here, sorry. The main issue is that we don’t spend time doing screen reader testing with JAWS, we only test with NVDA and VoiceOver on the Mac. JAWS requires a licence for users and it’s Windows only, which makes it much harder for our team to use. We’re generally Linux/Ma…

I am not at all sure this was caused by the use of jaws. you can vote In polls but the last time I tried it with jaws you do not know what you are voting for. Usually since you can only vote for one thing the vote options should behave like radiobuttons and you should be abel to tap to each option…

Reading up on the poll builder it is obvious that the code created most likely will not work, since the choices you make will change the control in the code. If only allowed to select one options it should behave like radio buttons, but if you are allowed to vote for more than one option the control…

在研究了投票生成器后，很明显所生成的代码很可能无法正常工作，因为您所做的选择会改变代码中的控件。如果只允许选择一个选项，它应该表现得像单选按钮，但如果您允许投票选择多个选项，控件应该是一个复选框。这解释了为什么代码根本不起作用，但至少它能获得焦点。
