Re: unlabeled graphics on the web

If graphics aren't labeled, then, of course, you
may have a hard time determining what graphic to click. But the question,
as posed, assumes that. Can NVDA be made to announce all graphics? I
don't think it does now. If there is a graphic without any text, I don't
think it announces it and there is no setting I know of to adjust the level of
graphic announcement. JAWS has such a setting and you were discussing that
in your comparison of NVDA and JAWS. If I am correct that there is no
setting in NVDA for this, this is another way in which NVDA isn't as user
definable as JAWS where it should be. This may be a serious problem on a
site where, to take an action a graphic needs to be clicked. It might mean
having to click it with the simulated mouse but to do that, it must be announced
as you move through the page so you can move to it and then move the mouse to
it.
You may need sighted help to know which graphic to
click but as far as I know, NVDA doesn't read unlabeled graphics on web pages
and moving character by character doesn't read them either. As far as I
know, they are skipped as though they don't exist.

Subject: Re: [nvda] unlabeled graphics on the web might be able to in Jaws, though it is often a trial and error thing as unless you have sighted help to identify non marked controls you are stuffed. It might be worth writing to the site admins and pointing out that a little bit ofalt tagging would go a long way. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Also, which section of the user guide explains this in further detail? Thanks.
