So how is a person using a screen reader supposed to interact with and enter information into a form? Are you saying this is expected behavior, or will this be addressed via an update? If so, what kind of timeline can we expect this to be completed?
We are a government (state) agency and have many PDF forms that our staff use daily. Those staff using screen readers are currently unable to independently complete these forms, thus unable to effectively fulfill their essential job duties.
As I mentioned in my original post, this was not an issue before the latest two updates. Before these updates, screen reader users were able to tab directly to a field and type their response. This is both for JAWS and NVDA Screen readers. Both of these tools have two distinct modes (reading mode and forms mode). Forms mode is supposed to allow you to type into the field, which is a form of editing.
Are you going to fix this?
