Trying to understand why the WCAG 2.1 request was closed in favour of this less detailed issue? Either way I'd like to highlight the value of the #277 thread to readers of this.

The latest update from a few days ago fixed a lot of buttons. Now, the only two issues I have are:

  • In the model list, in a new chat, where I choose a model, the models are just read as "model-item" instead of the model name.
  • When models have generated a response, I expect my screen reader to read out the response, similar to how ChatGPT does it as of a week ago or so. This can be done using Live Regions. Other than that, as far as I've tried today, it's pretty well improved! Thank you very much!

I was pointed to this issue. I started experimenting with this software few days ago. @devinprater how about buttons which are just above the chat edit field? Where you can do thumbs up / down, stop generation etc. ARe they accessible for you? For me they are not, so maybe I need some later version of the software.

No, they are not. They've not been labeled yet.

@devinprater One more thing to confirm... when on Linux and using Orca, can you really go through the list of models? When I activate the button, it expands and I am put into a search box. But when I type something, I can't use arrows to go through models. I know that models are there, but I have to use a special tool (ocrdesktop) to select the model.

You'll need to use a Chromium browser, and use object navigation and go
into each "model item" to see which model you're on. It's rather complex,
but that's what I do for now.
