Hello, Im a tad stuck with Confluence from Atlassian. Different screen readers give me access to certain bits but not everything at once. · Nerrator with Edge is the most responsive when moving through menus etc. However It cant read any of the browse dialogues. It however will work with the drop down lists in the editor. · NVDA doesn't get stuck in the main edit area as much as other screen readers. · Jaws doesn't read the drop down menus in the editor but with the touch screen I can find the items. I just cant execute them. Also, I can read the items ... just about with a lot of trial and error in the browse dialogues but I cant activate them. · Voiceover on IOS does a reasonable job but the Confluence site doesn't support IOS so the problems aren't down the Voiceover. I've spent a lot of time trying to find ways around this so I'm throwing it out here. Have any of you used Confluence and if so, how do you access these browse pages? Nerrator calls them groups. The browse pages are used for browsing for files, templates, macros, links and even people so they are a vital component of the interface. I'm managing the team that are implementing this so it's really causing problems that I cant access key elements of the interface. Regards Darragh
Hi, Having similar issues with Confluence and Jira at this end also. Some newer versions did fix some bugs, but introduced other issues. One issue I am having which is causing a real headache is not being able to edit calendar items for project calendars. I did email Atlassian about these issues and they did initially seem interested in feedback, however we are on an older version here and can't upgrade until the relevant outsourced team sort it out. Andrew. ________________________________________ From: Blind-sysadmins [blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] on behalf of Darragh Ó Héiligh [d@digitaldarragh.com] Sent: 08 November 2016 09:19 To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Confluence accessibility.

I'm using the cloud version. I'll put in another more detailed support request. I'm not holding out much hope though. I haven't had great success with Atlassian in the past. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Hodgson Sent: Tuesday 8 November 2016 09:29 To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Confluence accessibility.
