Accessible software for managing SQLite3 databases

Андрей Якубой
 

Hello everybody!


I learn data science and now I have to work a lot with SQLite3 databases. I'm looking for software that will allow me to learn, create and edit such databases using table-like format.


Of course I know Python and can manage DBs using SQLite3 module and SQL syntax, but it doesn't seem to be convinient learning big databases through reading Python tuple output.


I've found an interesting program called DB Browser and I've figured out that I even can learn existing DBs, e.g. viewing DB structure and data. But it doesn't clear, for example, how to add rows to the empty table, how to delete a whole row (not just row content), how to change field type, etc.


Does anybody have an experience of using DB Browser with NVDA? Or maybe there's another accessible database manager that works with SQLite3 DBs?


Thanks!


Andrey

Clickable means you can press enter on something and it will do whatever it is supposed to do.

I believe you should be able to hide that a screenreader is in use from a site if you want to, and I'd also say that sites in their first log on settings should ask you if you have a screenreader, if you want an overlay.
Its the lack of understanding that worries me. I even get people still asking after telling them that I cannot see large print, if they should make the font bigger in emails.
However getting back on topic, like this site, many use clickables for no apparent reason over links. I tend to just use them as links most of the time.

Yeah overlays do help but eventually you should make it yourself.

What does warm my heart is that in the last few jobs I did, some sites were almost there.

The last one, I spent less time talking about accessibility and a lot more on language, and structure, where words should be, how to make the site look and behave like other similar sites, where some stuff should be for easier viewing.

99.9% of everything existed I just had to tweak it.

In the last 6 years I have not found a truely inaccessible site.

Most of it these days seem to be where lines of text is placed.

And of course if your whatever is accessible from the ground up well.

I often work on a site with a friend and had a lot of extra stuff loaded for security.

When I had a lot of extras loaded the site needed it.

However emails from the site a few weeks earlier had information I had put in with some of the programs a security risk but the site had improved to the extent those were not needed.

As a result I was able to remove 4 plugins and save some time.

Subject: [nvda] accessibility overlays on web sites


I assume that web sites are supposed to make their web sites accessible
to those using screen readers. Nothing says they have to do a good job
of doing so. I would vote for NVDA somehow hiding itself so these
poorly implemented web sites couldn't see that a screen reader is being
used. I know the same issue applies to Jaws and Narrator but I know
that NVDA always does a better job of making the screen reader user
friendly. My most recent issue with a accessible overlay is with a bank
web site where instading of being able to read your balances and
activity the numbers that show clearly on the screen as a numeric value
are seen by NVDA as a spelled out version of the amount even if you
attempt to cut and paste it into a document on your computer.

Yes but there are two comments I'd make about this.
1, assuming you can fathom out how to use Github as a user, then you can raise an issue, indeed search for an issue, but Github itself has a very poor user interface for the average user in my view. 2, it can be annoying if you think you have raised a non duplicate ticket, and next day you see a comment about it saying its either a non issue or a duplicate of another, which on the surface of looking at that ticket, does not jump out as being related. This then gets closed without so much as a thank you. Often people post here for guidance hoping an expert in Github can know what to search for before you go and waste a lot of time trying to raise a ticket.

Gene, I'm not criticizing you for bringing this topic up, nor for seeking replication. Bur you or anyone else who says the above (and it happens with some frequency here) who does not create an issue in GitHub (or search to see if one exists, and comment on it) is deluding themselves if all they do is comment here.

The above may not apply to you, I am not certain, but for anyone reading this group, you need to realize that issues in GitHub are the one, and only, way things end up on the official radar of NVDA developers. If you're counting on one just happening to see something here, then create one, well . . .

They say clickable here, which I always thought meant they are a control that has an action, but its action is only defined when you click them.
And I just tried the latest alpha of nvda and that works as well, no error noises.

links is because I wanted to see if there might be a difference
between what is read on the web page itself and what the links list shows.

I had wondered at first if you were looking at the screen but on
further thought, I don't think that would matter. I would expect the
lists to be displayed visually with the same information as the
screen-reader speaks.

causes the video to play.

So I say again, there's no NVDA issue here, there's an abominable

I tried that before sending my message. None of them were visible. The
links that sent you to the producer's web site were visible but the
actual names of the items that you click were not there on my machine.

When I say visible, I mean were read by the screen-reader.

of organization for a blind-centric page by an entity that should know
better.

If you open the elements list and use headings, all of those links
become instantly visible, and in a logical way. If you use the
elements list with links, they're all there but they are all listed as
PayOwnMedia, LLC, and are indistinguishable from each other.

The stack of videos is essentially a list of objects, and the links
are contained within those objects, and the first link contained
within each of those objects is the literal PayOwnMedia, LLC, link.
You have to use the previous object link once you're on the
PayOwnMedia, LLC, link to get to the actual link for the content.
There's also a triple dot menu button inside the object for each and
every one of these, but I didn't write down the menu options when
activated.

This is one of the most heinous page layouts I've ever seen if the
intent is to address a blind audience. It's very visually beautiful,
and obvious, if you're sighted, but it's certainly not if you're
blind, and never would be.

I'm wondering if we are actually seeing the same page here. Yes the labelling is odd, but the clickable identifiers are the numbers or the name and there is also a description of the video and the length of it from what I can see in NVDA.
Could UK folk be getting a modified page?

It is not a bug, it is a direct feature of the design layout used on this webpage.

My guess is that Auphonic paid PayOwnMedia to design this and that PayOwnMedia has never designed with a blind audience in mind. But what's even more shocking is that Auphonic didn't catch all this and raise holy hell about it.

That page is a complete accessibility nightmare, and it's very obvious to me that's because the designer was targeting a sighted audience, which is the wrong one to target for the BlindShell 2 phone.

I was just looking at this site:
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNC7pndw1rKOpgBJVrx6a6mAKJE9BvxHm

The site has a playlist consisting of demonstrations about using The Blind Shell2. I noticed that the items you press enter on to make the videos play aren't identified by NVDA as either clickable or links, but pressing enter works.

I looked at the items with JAWS and it identifies them as links.
Others should verify that problem. If it is replicable, NVDA may be missing links on some pages.

To find the play list items quickly, they are heading level three titles.

Sorry, that sounds super frustrating!

 

I'm also using Windows 10 and NVDA 2022.3.1

However, I'm using Firefox Nightly.

 

I may use NVDA and Google Docs differently

However, when I arrow around in the body of the document it is spoken as expected.

 

Maybe you can try one of the Firefox or non chrome based browsers to see if things work better as a work around

 

In the Google document I was checking

The summary/outline is accessible to the physical mouse over

However the body of the document is not accessible to the physical mouse over

The comments from other users is accessible to the physical mouse over

 

I hope this helps

Gene, I'm not criticizing you for bringing this topic up, nor for seeking replication.  But you or anyone else who says the above (and it happens with some frequency here) who does not create an issue in GitHub (or search to see if one exists, and comment on it) is deluding themselves if all they do is comment here.

One reason I presented the problem is because I didn't know if the problem might be encountered enough to matter.  Since no one has discussed seeing this problem, it may be uncommon to the point where it might be decided to do nothing about it.  Still, I wanted to raise it for discussion.  And since JAWS sees the links as links, I also thought there might be some minor problem the developers might want to examine.

I had wondered at first if you were looking at the screen but on further thought, I don't think that would matter.  I would expect the lists to be displayed visually with the same information as the screen-reader speaks.

Every heading element reads correctly.  Moving to that heading gives focus on the link for the video in question.  Activating that link causes the video to play.

So I say again, there's no NVDA issue here, there's an abominable page design here.  Everything works as expected, but the organization is a labryinthine hell for a screen reader user who has no knowledge of the page's organization.  Not what you want when putting a webpage together with screen reader users as the primary demographic.

And the source for pages such as this are very short, but trying to drill down into what's actually controlling each and every element presented is nightmarish, too.  That page has 28 lines of HTML, which you can be certain is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

I hate where you can't really go through the entire page source (in any meaningful sense of that phrase) by looking at the main page source.  It's often impossible for us mere mortals who don't do HTML coding to even figure out which thing that is shown in the source for the page we should dig into next.

accessibility overlays on web sites

Don H
 

I assume that web sites are supposed to make their web sites accessible to those using screen readers. Nothing says they have to do a good job of doing so. I would vote for NVDA somehow hiding itself so these poorly implemented web sites couldn't see that a screen reader is being used. I know the same issue applies to Jaws and Narrator but I know that NVDA always does a better job of making the screen reader user friendly. My most recent issue with a accessible overlay is with a bank web site where instading of being able to read your balances and activity the numbers that show clearly on the screen as a numeric value are seen by NVDA as a spelled out version of the amount even if you attempt to cut and paste it into a document on your computer.

Hello all,

Are you refering to this page:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNC7pndw1rKOpgBJVrx6a6mAKJE9BvxHm
If so, there is no one else here to blame but Google. Because that page is a page for a playlist on YouTube. That is to say - the page is part of the YouTube website.
I'm clarifying this, because if I understood correctly the messages on this subject by some people, they blame the organization "PayOwn Media, LLC" for the problems on it, thinking that the page is created by them. And no - it is not. The organization "PayOwn Media, LLC" is just another user of the YouTube service that has a channel on it and uploads videos there - that's all.
With that said and clarified, I can confirm that there are some accessibility issues on this page. They should be reported to Google though, so that they can eventually be fixed.

Best wishes,
Kostadin Kolev

NVDA says "clickable" on those links. Viewing the source, they're not
exactly the standard types of links one would expect. I have to agree
w/Brian V that the design of the webpage sucks, I guess at least they
have "accessibility labels". Most of these agencies put these webpages
together w/stuff that God only knows what it is, (because most of them
don't), and it looks (and generally acts) like it. But the word
"clickable" tells you it can be clicked (or, hopefully, activated by
means of pressing enter or space on the keyboard. so I can't say I
think this is a problem w/NVDA. And, in actuality, given my look at
the source, I think calling them links isn't really technically
correct, though that is how they function.
