From koffice-devel Fri Oct 14 02:16:06 2005 From: Gary Cramblitt Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2005 02:16:06 +0000 To: koffice-devel Subject: KOffice 1.4.1 Accessibility Assessment Message-Id: <200510132216.07248.garycramblitt () comcast ! net> X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=koffice-devel&m=112926240231667 I have completed an accessibility self-assessment for KOffice version 1.4.1. You can download it in OpenOffice.org v1.1.3 format here: http://accessibility.kde.org/reports/koffice-1.4.1-accessibility-assessment.sxw There's a PDF file here: http://accessibility.kde.org/reports/koffice-1.4.1-accessibility-assessment.pdf As you'll see, the results are pretty poor. :/ I would appreciate comments, corrections, etc. Why did I do this? 1. It needed to be done. We can't improve accessibility unless we know what the problems are. 2. I would like to initiate a discussion on this list about how to improve accessibility in KOffice. There's a Recommendations section at the end of the document with some ideas. (I am currently working on a capability to size QSizer and QDockWindows with the keyboard.) 3. The Massachusetts Commission for the Blind requested information about accessibility of OpenDocument applications. See http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-accessibility&m=112653770607958&w=2 My plan is to discuss here for about a week, then post to the kde-accessibility mailing list for further discussion, publish on the accessibility.kde.org website, and send a notification message to the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind. BTW, I used OpenOffice.org 2.0 rc1 to convert the document above to OpenDocument format. When I loaded it into KWord (recent svn copy), it mangled it pretty badly. When I loaded the .xsw file into KWord, it seemed to lock up. :( Regards -- Gary Cramblitt (aka PhantomsDad) KDE Text-to-Speech Maintainer http://accessibility.kde.org/developer/kttsd/index.php _______________________________________________ koffice-devel mailing list koffice-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
