The next step I think is to test this on Debian Jessie and see if it’s specific to Tails. Assigning to emmapeel and next release as this should be part of the initial research for the ticket but you’re allowed to find other volunteers :)

Actually this has already been reported in Debian, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734235. So this is “Confirmed” but “Wait”.

• Parent task deleted (Feature #14522)

(What I committed to do on Feature #14522 is about the “core Tails system”, which is currently ill-defined, but during the discussion we’re having about defining it better, it was made clear that Electrum is definitely not part of it. Let’s not turn Feature #14522 into a catch-all ticket about all possible issues for vision-impaired people, otherwise we won’t ever close it and it does not make sense to add it to our roadmap as we did. Also, I want Feature #14522 to be something I can realistically complete by the end of 2019; given Electrum upstream seems to be mostly uninterested, I don’t want to have to port Electrum to Qt5 myself in order to get Feature #14522 done.)

Tested on 3.9-rc1 with Electrum 3.1.3 and it does not work. It reads the initial wizard but it states that desktop assistance is disabled for Electrum. There is some work upstream quire recently to fix this https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/4637 and nothing has been merged yet, so it’ll come.

Setting this ticket to wait since there’s nothing we can do about it for the moment, but leaving the bug open so we don’t forget to test again.

In theory the upgrade planned in Bug #16421 should fix this for free ⇒ once that’s done, next step is to test & verify that the screen reader can read Electrum. Thanks in advance!

Well yes, in theory. But I have tested with Electrum 3.3.8 in tails-amd64-bugfix_16421-fix-electrum-4.0-20190927T1734Z-3bba768b94+devel@fe2c7513ee.iso and ScreenReader still does not read Electrum. I am putting this out of test since my test does not pass unfortunately. If I’m wrong please correct me.

It “reads” it or at least it tries to read it. The top bar is read just fine (File, Wallet, View, etc.). The tabs (history / send / receive / addresses, etc.) are not read properly, more like "1, 2, 3, read only text, OK button, etc.) the notification messages pop-ups are also not read (only OK button is read). I am not sure if this is fixable.
