Hi! I am using Windows 10, NVDA 2020.4 and LibreOffice 7.2. Are there any extensions for NVDA that improve its accessibility with LibreOffice? In particular, LibreOffice has a spreadsheet application, Calc, that has some material accessibility issues. Thanks, Richard

Hi,
I'm afraid that there aren't any, but I really hope that the
accessibility of LibreOffice with NVDA will be improved in the
future, because more and more blind users are choosing this suite
as this is a very good free alternative to MS-Office.
Unfortunately this doesn't depend on the NVDA's developpers only.
Ciao.
Gigi

Hi Gigi! Yes indeed, everything you say is correct. No doubt, some collaboration between NVDA and LibreOffice (LO) seems necessary. In fact, I am presently connected with a person in Germany who is involved with LO development and who has a keen interest in improving LO’s accessibility. He has likewise noted that some sort of collaboration is needed. My problem is that I do not have any contacts within NVDA to try to connect them with LO. I have said to my LO contact that I am willing to volunteer to improve accessibility. I just do not know how to go about it. Do you know what I can do to foster this? Thanks, Richard

Hi Rui,
Do you know if LO is accessible to Orka on Linux?
Do you know if LO is written in Java?

Hello Russ,
I have used LO with Orca up to a couple of years ago. Now I haven't used my Linux distros for a while, so I don't know if the respective upgrades have changed things.
I don't know if it's written in Java...
Sory, i'm not Rui... lol!
Ciao, peace,
Ollie
