Screen Readers

You can navigate the accessible areas of the learner experience and interact with them via a screen reader. UE tests the interface with NVDA and JAWS on Microsoft Windows, Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox.

Keyboard Navigation

You can navigate the accessible areas of the learner experience with a keyboard. Keyboard navigation is enabled by default on Windows computers and on Google Chrome with any operating system, but it must be enabled manually when using Safari and Mozilla browsers on macOS.

Safari

  1. Open Safari, then go to Safari on the menu bar and choose Preferences.
  2. Move to the Advanced tab.
  3. Mark the accessibility option that lets you Press Tab To Highlight Each Item On A Webpage.

Mozilla Firefox

To use keyboard navigation on Mozilla for macOS, you must first enable that feature on your device.

  1. Open your device’s System Settings.
  2. Move to the Keyboard tab, and activate the Keyboard Navigation toggle.

Shortcuts

Docebo supports keyboard shortcuts for easy navigation, but some shortcuts only work if they are enabled, and keyboard shortcuts do not work on all keyboards.

The basic keyboard navigation mainly uses the Tab key to move through links, buttons, form inputs, and other focusable elements. The Enter key selects links, and Enter or the Spacebar selects buttons. Arrow keys are used to navigate links within menus, options in drop-down menus, checkboxes, and similar elements.

Zoom

The accessible areas of the learner experience use responsive design, allowing you to zoom the interface up to 400% without loss of information or functionality, and without requiring scrolling in two dimensions. You can also resize the browser window to fit your needs or screen size.

Skip To Main Content

You can use the skip to main content feature throughout the learning experience to quickly reach the main content of the page and bypass items such as the logo, search areas, and header buttons.
