![]() I’ve looked into all the LibreOffice bugs related to GNU/Linux and accessibility, and checked their validity and updated them as a consequence.Īfter that I started to become an accessibility bug hunter for the LibreOffice QA team and I have reported lots of bugs related to Writer, Calc and Impress. That is why we have decided to get involved, beginning with an accessibility audit on the user side. But we deem such an evolution is not sustainable on the long-run. So far so good – we provide version 4.2 for our customers because it is actually the latest version usable for blind and visually impaired people.

I used GNOME before (and its magnifier), but given the important efforts that Hypra has poured into this project and the constant improvement of the, I have decided to switch about a year ago. I use, on a daily-basis, the Universal Accessible OS (UAS) based on Debian GNU/Linux both for my professional and personal needs. I am visually impaired and I use my computer with a screen magnifier and a screen reader. I am French, and my IRC nickname is “alexarnaud”.ĭo you work for a LibreOffice-related company or just work on it in your spare time?Īlongside the Hypra team, I am based in Paris. Where are you from, and if you’re active on IRC, what’s your nickname? Alex Arnaud is working to make the suite more accessible for users with visual impairments, and discusses his experiences and the challenges ahead in our latest interview… That can be made whiter as indicated here.The LibreOffice community tries to make the software as accessible as possible – in other words, usable for people with special needs or requirements.
