Checking PDF with NVDA

Shownotes

Basically, we do not recommend any screen reader tests, as using the program requires a lot of practice. Nevertheless, a test can sometimes be useful. The read-aloud function of the Adobe programs does not use any accessibility tags and is therefore unsuitable for a test. The screen reader NVDA is recommended here, which is only available for Windows but free of charge. You can create a portable version during the installation process, so no installation is required. The Apple platforms do not support tagged PDFs, so a test with VoiceOver makes no sense on either iOS or the Mac (as of June 2023). To my knowledge, Linux, Unix and Android as well as ChromeOS do not support accessible PDFs either. One can certainly say that the support under Windows is best and therefore the test under Windows and the screen readers NVDA or Jaws ( makes the most sense.
