No information provided to NVDA screen readers about tooltips #11

Open paulGeoghegan opened 1 month ago

On the example page for tool tips, there is a button that you can hover over to make a tool tip appear, but it is not announced by NVDA.

Assuming you're using chrome as well?

paulGeoghegan commented 1 month ago

No FF but I checked in Chrome and the same thing happens. If I arrow up then I can read the tool tip but it should be announced to the screen reader or at least indicate how to get to it because currently nothing seems to happen.

🤔 @claviska we may have to do the special case we talked about with tooltips, or build the tooltip into the component because of cross root aria issues.

@paulGeoghegan im working on getting a windows box to get test this NVDA stuff. I'm generally testing in VoiceOver, but recognize majority of screen reader users are on Windows + NVDA

@KonnorRogers let me know if you have any other questions as I'm more than happy to help out. I'm actually a blind dev so I use NVDA all day.

Much appreciated thank you so much for the offer! If there's anything else we can do to help you please let us know as well!

EDIT: We also understand we can only approximate experience for blind / screen reader users and do value your input tremendously in helping Web Awesome be usable by everyone

@KonnorRogers It's no problem. I only went through a few of the components today but I'll try get through the rest tomorrow and let you know if I find anything else. I really do appreciate the work all of you are doing and that's exactly why I wanted to be involved in the Alpha so that in a years time when probably thousands of websites use these components that everyone can use them.
