Subject: Are Highcharts really accessible?
No previous message | Next message →
I was just looking at Highcharts, specifically the basic column demo, and
as a sighted user navigating and listening with NVDA, I couldn't figure out
how to navigate to content I knew was there. Is there some trick or
keyboard shortcut I'm missing here?

Ah, OK. I want to suggest some solutions for a site I'm looking at, and was
hoping an accessible chart product could be one of the options. I
remembered you mentioned Highcharts in another thread, so I went and goofed
around with one of the demos. If I need to take this any further, I'll
reach out. Thanks very much.

Hi Brian, Ãystein from Highcharts here.
I have to somewhat apologize for the state of most of our demos when it comes to a11y. Indeed as Lucy says the demos are long due for an a11y overhaul, and this is high on our roadmap. The website in general is currently in the midst of a redesign which should greatly improve a11y. I am happy to forward any input you might have on either the product or website.
For a more accessible charting experience, check out https://www.highcharts.com/a11y.html <https://www.highcharts.com/a11y.html>.
Best regards,
Ãystein Moseng
