o365 admin tables not working with screen readers
by Kelly Prescott 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

I could not find the original message to keep the thread, but I remember seeing a message on this list about the sudden failure of screen readers in tables on the Microsoft O365 admin site. https://admin.microsoft.com I figured this would get cleared up soon, but it has been a few weeks, and no screen reader, JAWS, NVDA, or Narrator will work with this content anymore. I did send a email to the enterprise accessibility answer desk at Microsoft, but no answer yet. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get around this? This makes the site unusable to me and that is a significant part of my job. I have been able to use powershell for some things, but that takes time as I have to lookup commands for all the things I need to do. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Accessibility, audio and speech support, Kali Linux, Parrot OS, System Rescue CD, running from a USB multiboot disk
by David Mehler 08 Mar '23

08 Mar '23

Hello, Is anyone running one, sum, or all of the above distros specifically from either a single bootable USB stick or a multiboot USB stick? If so, how did you get audio and speech going in each of the distros on the disk? Also, if your using a multiboot do you use shared caching or persistent storage so that OS settings persist across reboots? Thanks. Dave.

Replacing Chocolatey with Winget
by Andrew Hodgson 06 Mar '23

Hi. Seriously looking at replacing my scripts to use Winget now instead of Chocolatey. I notice there is even a package for JFW 2023 as well as NVDA in Winget. Has anyone actually had experience with using these packages? May play over the weekend. Thanks. Andrew.

I have some news for all of you looking for a NMS solution. PRTG by Paessler is getting a GUI makeover and will be WCAG compliant with their new interface.

They have committed to making their solution complaint. The interface is still in alpha. You can download their demo and work with it and send them feedback if you are interested. I will also add that they added WCAG to their public roadmap as well.. Best, Billy L.

Accessing Microsoft 365 mail from Linux
by Jason White 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

What is currently my best and most screen reader accessible option for working with Microsoft 365-hosted mail (Exchange Online) when running Linux? I’ve enabled IMAP and SMTP access in the Exchange Online configuration. It’s my Microsoft 365 subscription, which I recently upgraded to include e-mail, Microsoft Teams, etc., and intended for professional/career-related use. However, and for good reasons, Microsoft now requires the use of OAuth 2.0 authorization for both IMAP and SMTP connections. My options so far appear to be as follows. Mozilla Thunderbird, which I’m already using with my Linux-hosted IMAP account. Unfortunately, authentication in Microsoft 365 is currently an open bug which is being actively worked on by Mozilla, introduced in the most recent Thunderbird release. I expect this is my best option, and I can afford to wait a while for them to resolve the bug. Evolution: not very accessible with a screen reader, as I recall. DavMail: This is another possibility. It essentially accesses Microsoft servers and makes mail, contacts and calendar available locally via their respective protocols (IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV/CardDAV). I don’t know how reliably it works with Microsoft’s current authentication and authorization scheme, though. The outlook.office365.com <http://outlook.office365.com/> Web interface: probably workable, but not ideal - I would prefer to have both of my mail accounts in the same client. Comments welcome.

by Ryan Shugart 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Hi all: Earlier I had posted to this group about a survey Microsoft was running regarding accommodation's for certification exams. This survey had been scheduled to end on 12/16, however the date has been extended until 12/31. If anyone is interested, you can take the survey here<https://forms.office.com/r/XY7S7JgKL6>. My apologies for the late notice of the extension, I have been on vacation for the past few weeks. If there are any accessibility issues taking the survey, please reach out to the Enterprise Disability Answer Desk<mailto:edad@microsoft.com> for assistance. Thanks a lot.
