Accessibility of the Operational System
Jira Align is project management software designed to be affordable and easy to use. Operating system accessibility in Jira Align refers to the software's ability to be used by people with different skills and situations.
Jira Align is responsive to Accessibility Operating Systems (such as Windows, MacOS, and Ubuntu). This means that when activating accessibility features in the operating system, Jira Align will interact, respond to commands, and adapt.
These are examples of Operational System Accessibility that can be used on Jira Align:
Screen Reader Navigation Basics
Screen Reader Navigation Basics refer to the fundamental techniques and commands used to navigate through a computer's operating system using a screen reader. A screen reader is a software application that attempts to identify and interpret what is being displayed on the screen and then presents this information to the user,
Jira Align is compatible with screen readers, which read out the text and other elements on the screen for visually impaired users.
Reading mode offers keystrokes and shortcuts for webpage content, aiding screen reader users in navigating non-interactive elements like paragraphs. While it can navigate to interactive elements, interaction requires focus mode.
Forms Mode
"Forms Mode" is a term often used in the context of screen readers, which are software applications that help visually impaired users read the content displayed on the screen.
In "Forms Mode,” the screen reader allows users to interact with form elements on a webpage, such as text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and drop-down lists. This mode is designed to make it easier for users to fill out forms, as the screen reader will read out the labels of the form fields and provide audible feedback when the user enters data or makes a selection.
Forms mode activates when a screen reader focuses on a form input or control, transforming the keyboard from a screen reader controller to a typing tool. This lets typing keys input data instead of executing screen reader commands. Screen readers typically signal to enter forms mode with an audible tone. Jira Align works with the Forms mode enabled.
