Support for navigating content within IFRAMES #92

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Navigate to page with frame
2. ChromeVox-R will not read content within frame

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should read content within frame and provide different levels of reading 
granularity (by word, letter) and structural voicing (e.g. headings, tables)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ChromeOS or Chrome on Mac

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem when using (the Bookshare) Web Reader with ChromeVox is that the 
content in Web Reader’s iFrame is invisible to it. Web Reader offers word 
level highlighting but doesn’t have the navigation options that a blind user 
needs. For example, it’s not possible to navigate by character, word, 
sentence, paragraph, or heading level. Also, there isn’t a way to control how 
much punctuation is read. If ChromeVox could treat the content in Web 
Reader’s iFrame as a webpage, these options would be available through 
ChromeVox. When using Firefox and Web Reader with JAWS, Window-Eyes and NVDA, 
these options can be used because these screen readers recognize the content 
within the iFrame.
