[Xerte] Re: XOT - Speech recognition - Keyboard short cut keys

I'd welcome your support on the audit, Peter.

Has anyone noticed the oddity on the current Nottingham play_560 example
where TTS on the navigation controls announces "Page n of n"? There's also a
tendency for tabbing to escape the learning object back to the browser
navigation but then be unable to return to the browser. Neither of these are
issues with our 2 TechDis installations which is a puzzle. I'd be interested
if others find the same on their current installs.

Thanks very much.  I have breifly tried the keys and the voice commands
"Press page down" Press page up"- they seem to work OK. "Press Shift Home"
also brings up the table of contents. In dialog boxes "move down one" "move
up one" works also  then you have to "tab" to the button and "Press Enter"
some times "Press Space bar"to activate the button etc.

I will need to put a lot more time into exploring using voice commands in
the full range of templates in XOT.  Probably the best way will be to jing
some examples as input into the accessibility audit. I will start on this
when I get some free time  in  the new year.

In dragon professional you can create custom voice commands that use scripts
that press keys etc.  So "Table of contents" would press shift Home key etc.

They are already there: try page up, pagedown, home, end with / without the
shit key…

Hi Peter

JISC TechDis are currently doing some accessibility audits on Xerte and this
is a useful contribution to the pot. Can we Skype at some time in next
couple of days and I’ll update you on where we’ve got to. We’re hoping to
put together a wish list and have some budget to help ease the process.

I am planning to develop some simple courses to support new users of Dragon
naturally speaking speech recognition software. The problem is that the
Voice commands "Press Tab" , "Press Shift Tab","Press Enter", "Press Space
Bar" fire the key board keys and allow you to navigate Xerte, but it is very
painful to get to where you want to go if you simply want to advance a slide
or bring up the table of contents. "Press Tab","Press Tab","Press
Tab","Press Tab" etc

If you have the high end professional version of dragon you can say "Press
Tab 6" or you can program  mouse position commands, assuming you load xerte
into the same window size every time, and  say "Next Slide" which will
locate the mouse and click it.  However the target audience for the courses
are novice dragon users with a typical low end version of Dragon so this is
not really an option.  You can also use "Mouse Grid 5,2,3  Mouse click" to
position the mouse and click it, but again you have to be an experienced
user to be able to do this.

A few XOT inbuilt shot cut keys say  "Press Control T" etc that advance the
slide no matter where you are would help novice user with XOT. Others eg: go
to first Tab Item on the slide would also make a big difference.

Understand that there may be possible conflicts with windows mac etc pre
defined short cut keys  but the question is can this and should this be done
easily in XOT to assist disability users who use speech recognition.(
including built in Win7 speech recognition)
