Accessibility

There are accessibility limitations with the Genero Desktop Client, when compared to a standard Microsoft™ Windows® application.

By default, labels and other widgets that cannot receive the focus cannot be read or spoken by the narrator. The end user must force the reading of the entire window. For the default Windows Narrator, this is accomplished by the hot key combination CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR.

With topmenus and toolbars, the narrator does not read item by item, even when the entire reading of the window is selected. The Genero Desktop Client also does not know when a topmenu or toolbar item is hovered or highlighted. As a result, it is recommended to not use topmenus or toolbars where accessibility is important; you should limit the use of the accessibility to action panels/menus and buttons.
