Re: [orca-list] announcement of page numbers



Hi Kendell,

I'd sure appreciate such a feature in Libreoffice Writer.

One of the things I liked on my Windows/JAWS/Word setup was that every time you changed pages, JAWS would announce "Page 1", "Page 2" etc.

I've never come across a similar feature in Writer - I think Orca remains silent when you cross a page boundary.

So to expand on your original request: What would be great would be to have something like a hot key to report the current page number, and also an announcement each time you navigated to a different page.

Thoughts? I've no idea if page information is exposed via any of the accessibility APIs - one for Joanie perhaps :)

Regards,

Nick

hi all
I've noticed a feature missing that I thought might be useful. That's
announcement of page numbers in word processors, document viewers, etc.
I'm not absolutely certain this feature is missing so if it's there, I
apologize for my ignorance. Would it be possible to add this and make it
configurable? This would be really convenient in apps like libre office
or evince, but could be useful in other apps as well. I can't remember
if this has been brought up on hear before. If so, I apologize for the
spam. What does everyone else think? Would this be a good idea? One
thing I'm not sure of is if there's a standard way of calculating page
numbers, or if it's app specific?
Thanks
Kendell Clark
