Linked to #23560 this ticket specifically concerns the speech recognition
user's accessibility experience of the Add Media functionality.
I'm using Dragon Naturally Speaking with IE9 on Windows 7 - a typical
setup as Dragon works best with IE.
Within the Edit Post screen I can use Dragon to action the Add Media link
successfully. The command in Dragon for such an action is "Click Add
Media". This works, but then I run into the following problem:
* With the exception of Set Featured Image, none of the other links on the
panel appear to be directly accessible with Dragon.
* If I select Set Featured Image I can't action any of the other links.
Dragon users can use voice commands to replicate pressing the tab key. The
experience then mirrors that outlined in #23560 - but of course this
cannot be used to select the images or other files.
It is possible for Dragon users to interact with screens using mouse
commands but it is an incredibly laborious and time consuming process -
used only as a last resort.
If one of the images is selected, the information panel for that images
opens to the right. Unfortunately none of the input fields (for title,
alt, etc) are directly available to Dragon. Ironically, the Insert Into
Post button can be accessed directly with a voice command.
Some investigation needs to be done as to why most of the links and input
fields cannot be directly accessed by Dragon when the panel is opened.
This is a parallel with the situation on the Theme Customizer panel.
It is interesting that the Set Featured Image link and the Insert Into
Post button '''can''' be directly accessed. What is different about them?
