NVDA can read date field in timer dialog

Post by andrewd » Fri Jul 12, 2013 12:42 am

A while ago I alleged that NVDA can't read the date fields when setting up a timer recording. I can now report that I was wrong, but a little keyboard gymnastics is required. Having tabbed to the date field, it is usually necessary to move NVDA to the previous object (Insert-shift-left arrow). Then, reading the line of the current object (Insert-shift-fullstop) will read the date. Changes are not announced as arrow keys are pressed, but re-reading the line of the current object does the trick.

Thanks, Andrew. Also I notice you can read the whole dialog with INSERT + B. VoiceOver on Mac reads Start Date and End Date if you tab into them, so perhaps some time we can improve this.
