Enketo webforms are not working properly when using assistive technologies such as screen reader programme (NVDA and Jaws) or high contrast mode. We use grid theme + multiple pages + headings in all CAPS as the form style, if that makes a difference.
The main issues we have faced so far are:
- When filling out the form using a screen reader programme:
- The voice-over reads content that is not actually visible on the page. I assume the programme reads something from the code of the page, including content from other pages. The voice-over should read only the content that is visible on the page.
- When moving to the next page, screen reader by default goes to the bottom of a page. It is very inconvenient when a user with visual impairment must manually search and find the beginning of a page. When clicking “next”, it should take you to the next question by default.
- When filling out the form using high contrast mode:
- In question types “Select one” and “Select many”, the selected option (tick in a box) is not visible. So a user cannot be sure if she/he has selected the intended option. The tick in a box should be clearly visible also in high contrast mode.
Could you ensure that KoBo is accessible also for persons with disabilities and compatible with assistive technologies?
