Hi, Donna!
On the contrary, it's not an accessibility gap at all. I just had to
make over 100 cards for a project I'm working on. Here are the steps I
did, though I will only tell you how I modified an already existing
contact:
1. Press vo-space bar on edit card.
2. VO util you come to card view for John Smith (only an example name
grin).
3. Use VO-shift-down arrow to interact with the card.
4. Use VO to get to the fields you want to edit. You will find things
like Add phone, aim, and some fields are not very clearly labelled.
5. An example, If you vo-left arrow from the first name field, you will
see info, then a number of fields that only say address. When you come
to the popup with work in it, you can press vo-spacebar on it, and pick
your choice of what the address is that you will be typing in, such as
home. Then, vo-right arrow once and fill in the street address. When
you then vo-right arrow to the next field, it will say home city, the
next field will say home state, the next one home zip code, and then the
next one will say home country.
Now, I must tell you that you can't always hear what you are typing in
the field. So, I always checked each field to make sure it was correct
before moving on to the next one.
6. When you are done editing, stop interacting with vo-space bar-up
arrow.
If any of this is unclear, or if you have any other questions, feel free
to ask. I not only made or edited all of those contacts, I even made
address labels out of them. Wow! That was awesome, as I was never able
to do that before! Marcy

You gusy, this is really lousy. This is a major accessibility gap in the

well, you have to check the edit card checkbox before going into the
card view and then use vo not tab to go through the fields. It is a bit
confusing at first but once you've done a couple dozen, it gets better.

Hi all,
Is this accessible, I've been trying to edit one of my contacts and I
can't tell what field I'm typing in, or where the insertion point is.
Thanks,
Donna
