#1553 Accessibility with VoiceOver

[Miroslav Krejci]

Hello,

I am blind user of Mac with VoiceOver . Although I have very limited experience with TMS and I am completely new in Omega, I think I am able to affirm that the app hardly works with VoiceOver.

Indeed it is not possible set both source and target language, the cursor of VoiceOver behaves unexpectedly. Would be possible to adjust the app’s interface in order to accomplish the accessibility guidelines? In the site of Apple there are many useful suggestions.

Many thanks and best regards

Miroslav

Thank your for suggestion! It is important for us to understand UD, and it is but difficult for me, or us, to understand it well.

Does anyone suggest us a guidelines what we can do getting started with?

I've had another report from a French user in the same lines. We need to investigate more and see how far we can go.
