Screen reader accessibility #191

Open acory opened 6 years ago

Tested with ChromeVox and Windows Narrator. None of the sample apps (https://polymer.github.io/pwa-starter-kit/sample-apps/) and neither our team's polymer implemented apps seem to be screen reader accessible. Any advice/solution to this?

Not sure about Windows, but for macOS the built in VoiceOver screen reader works on Shop. The ChromeVox extension for Chrome does not support Shadow DOM and has not been updated since 2017.

In a site, I had to add tabindex="0" to some elements to overcome this issue.While it is not the best practice now it can be read and navigated without problems using for example Talkback for android. is this a problem of Polymer -which versions are affected? My site uses Polymer 2. could this also be the reason for this issue? thanks
