Re: Jira Cloud and blind users

Hi,

I use Jira cloud successfully with NVDA. Normally the functions I perform
are creating tickets, editing them, and generating reports.

I have also seen its accessibility improve over the time recently.

Tagging users is a bit of a challenge, and a few fields remain unlabelled
but I learnt it's the configuration team issue as opposed to a product
issue.

Also, I am not aware if our backend uses some plugin, is there a way to
learn that from its UI?

Thanks,
Vaibhav
