Hello @giulianozor 👋

Thanks for your feedback 🙏

Could you tell me more about your request?

VoiceOver is not implemented at all inside WebSSH and I would like to know where you want to start

Hello, the main issues I face are;
– When using the keyboard, I get the voice feedback when inserting text, but not when deleting text.
– I cannot get the terminal content reading. The only way is to enable screen recognition, but this will read everything from the beginning, so it is not very useful. The best would be to have each line selectable and readable.
– The Corso to move up and down, left, and right in the upper row of the keyboard is not usable when VoiceOver is enabled.
That is all I can think of right now.

Thank you.

Thanks for your feedback @giulianozor !

– When using the keyboard, I get the voice feedback when inserting text, but not when deleting text.

I'm new to VoiceOver so I need some guidance.
When I delete chars I hear a sound, is it not the intended behaviour?

– I cannot get the terminal content reading. The only way is to enable screen recognition, but this will read everything from the beginning, so it is not very useful. The best would be to have each line selectable and readable.

I'm not able to provide text selection on the terminal due to an underlying library, you need to use "Show Scrollback Buffer"
I know that's not ideal so I will try to make a workaround

– The Corso to move up and down, left, and right in the upper row of the keyboard is not usable when VoiceOver is enabled.

Are you talking about this component?

When VoiceOver is enabled you get the reading of each character you type or delete. For example, if you type 123, you can hear one, two, three. Then if you delete 32, you hear three, two. This allows you to know which character you typed or delete. Also, there are other mouths like words or lines where you get the reading for a whole for the line, but in this case only when you delete, move or select a different line or worth.
If it is not possible to get the liner readings without entering the buffet screen, that is very unfortunate Punto it makes the whole software 99% useless because there is no easy way to receive the output of your comments. Maybe the underlying library could be updated to support voiceover? I do not use it on Mac, only on iPad, but I suppose the same issue is present in the desktop version as well.
The comp you circled in the AMEX is exactly the one I am talking about.

Thanks.

No problem at all

I will improve WebSSH in the upcoming releases to have a better accessibility

If you are still using WebSSH, I'll ping you when I've made some improvements to the accessibility elements

Yes, I still use it, at least while I have some vision left. I will be glad to provide feedback and test.

I also tried other clients, but I have not found anything even close to web SSX, so I really hope you can improve the accessibility.

Thanks
