Currently, LibreOffice has incomplete support for accesibility tools like screenreaders, and even the default VoiceOver provided by Apple.

This also causes instability problems leading to frequent crashing on some systems, e.g :

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42014
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48329
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33359


I ran Apple's provided developer tool, Accessibility Checker over the default launches of the various modules of LO with 3.5.2 and am enclosing the output here as text files which shows quite a large number of errors/warnings.

Added bug 46107 - "UI: Voiceover not announcing cell content or position"
Comment 9 James 2013-07-28 21:36:54 UTC
46107 was fixed. Might this be fixed as well?
Comment 10 Boris Dušek 2013-07-30 20:38:33 UTC
Fixing of 46107 IMHO does not at all influence any of the problems reported in the Accessibility Verifier output, since Accessibility Verifier does not test accessibility notifications (which is the only thing fixing 46107 changed).
