Scroll text and Accessibility
Hi,
We noticed today that JAWS reads scroll text a little bit weirdly. I have large amount of text in a scroll panel. When the tab key is applied on the scroll panel, the text is read out by JAWS....
Hi there, Hassy. I gave it a test too, in Chrome in my Windows environment. I had an update for Chrome, so now I'm on version 64. Using JAWS 18, the screen reader read through the entire scroll box of text the first time.
I'm not sure what the difference could be between our experiences. Do you shift focus at all when the screen reader is reading? I was tempted to move the scroll bar so I could follow along, but that would have taken the screen reader away from the text.
