Hi,


1. the focus moves between controls like buttons, edit, etc by using the tab or shift tab in desktop applications. Visually it has a dotted rectangle around it. The rectangle could be different depending on the program. Basically the focus is the point of the program where you perform an action like canceling a dialog, editing information, etc.
2. The cursor (caret) is a blinking symbol that is used when editing documents, in edit fields or any other area that excepts inputs. caret is control by using the arrow keys, page up, page down, end and home. The mouse cursor is control my the mouse or trackpad. Used to move items around on the screen, select buttons from toolbar, draw and a range of other actions.
3. The best way to determine if it is an application issue is to remove the use of the assistive technology like Narrator and see if the same problem occurs. For example: You are selecting text via the keyboard and it does not work when you have narrator. When narrator is not present, the same keys work. Basically trial and error. If a screen reader lands on a button and the user only hears button. Then this is an iusse with the application not having correct labels. Using a different screen reader like Jaws and NVDA can confirm this.

I hope the examples and tips helps. Experience leans a lot towards known when it is an application or screen reader issue. I would suggest testing with another screen reader as Narrator is not feature rich yet.

Sean, thanks for the quick response.
I just understood the tips and examples which you described here.

but, my question is, is there any specific tool to describe the user
interface of the particular app?
some time, the narrator does not speak the pains on the online or web
interface apps


possible, if you installed windows ten, and, if you have some idea
about narrator, try to explain me about the scann mode. and where i
can use it

sorry for bothering you again and again

Focus is when you move to an object using the keyboard or touch. If you
use the tab key, you will move focus from one object to the next within
the app. If you single tap an object you will move focus to it.

The Narrator cursor is where Narrator is currently doing something. For
example, if you use Narrator to read some text one word at a time, this
moves the Narrator cursor to each word in turn. You can then do things
like tell Narrator to read from the Narrator cursor to the end of the
document.

The system cursor is usually the same as the focus point. The mouse
cursor is wherever the mouse pointer is located.

Can you give an example?

When the Windows 10 anniversary edition is released (sometime in July),
it will include Narrator Developer Mode. There is a demo available here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ-4AVxAIsc

This will help with accessibility testing apps with Narrator.

Léonie.

Shankar,

Are you asking about error messages, and whether they are coming from the screen reader (JAWS or NVDA, for instance) or the app that is being read out?

no no no

for example, I am testing the one note online app, and when ever i
focus some elements on the app and if i move using tab and shift tab,
my focus automatically moves towards some other sections
