suggestion option to report only the number of photos / graphics on a web page when the figures are close to each other

fernando-jose-silva commented 4 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

this is a suggestion When reading some sites we come across a sequence of images, nvda reports all images with the captions that the author has placed. The problem is when the author of the page places all captions the same for all photos, and places several images one below the other. In the example that I give below there are 8 photos under each other, and all with the same description. When reading in a continuous reading with nvda it seems that the nvda was stuck in the following section of the page, but it is not what happens, it happens that we have the 8 figures with the same caption and we always hear the same phrase over and over. My suggestion would be for the nvda to have a feature to filter pictures in sequence if possible with the same caption, if this filter was activated nvda would read only the first picture and caption followed by the number of how many times you see this same picture with the same caption appears in sequence on the page. The user must have the option to turn this filter on or off.

To exemplify see the following page in Portuguese:

https://www.autossegredos.com.br/marcas/volkswagen-marcas/o-que-comprar-virtus-at6-ou-voyage-at6/

look for the header Segurança

press g to go to the next image. Navigate with the arrows below and see that there are 8 figures with the same legend.

Actual behavior:

when performing continuous reading the user hears the phrase for 8 times in a row:

figure Virtus graphic link subtitle Foto | Volkswagen/Divulgação out of figure

Expected behavior:

if the filter is on, which would be by the user's choice the user would only hear:

figure Virtus graphic link subtitle Foto | Volkswagen/Divulgação out of figure 8 times

These are linked thumbnails. If you click on them the original images will be shown. Thus grouping makes no sense here if you intent to follow the link. It makes more sense to contact the webmaster or the author of that page and to ask him to improve the Alt-Text for each thumbnail image (e.g. add an additional number).
