Accessibility

Turning on the screen reader in Nextcloud Office.

Migrating to Nextcloud has made it possible to make sciebo a little more accessible, as Nextcloud Office allows documents to be read aloud. We have activated this option on the server side. However, for it to work properly, it must also be enabled on the client side. To do this, follow these instructions:

  1. Open sciebo in a web browser.
  2. Open a document that you want to have read aloud.
  3. Navigate to the Help tab by pressing the key combination “ALT+Y” in the open document. Alternatively, press the ‘ALT’ key and navigate by pressing the tab key until you hear “Tab Control Help Tab selected”.
  4. Then press the down arrow key. You should hear “Tool Bar four toggle buttons not pressed.”
  5. Press the TAB key until you hear “Screen Reading Button not pressed” and activate it by pressing the space bar. After this action, the content of the document should become accessible to your pre-installed screen reader.
