Hi,
Have you ever found yourself struggling to arrange a series of choices in order
of your preference in an application form or in a survey form? I found it
extremely difficult to do and difficult to find a solution.
The key term is âRanking Questionâ.
The problem is knowing how to work with a Ranking Question using a screen
reader.
I found the following link contains useful guidance:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-a-screen-reader-to-respond-to-form-or-quiz-questions-in-microsoft-forms-adae6d1c-33c8-465b-8066-eb14991a98cb
This applies to all Ranking Questions that use the same technology as that in
the Microsoft Survey described above. The following is extracted from that link
with the addition of some of my own comments:
In both Edge and Chrome:
It is not necessary to change from browse mode:
For ranking questions, use the Tab key or Shift+Tab to browse the elements in
the list. You hear the current ranking of the element, its name, and "Move
option up, move option down."
To move an element up in the ranking, press the Tab key until you hear "Move
option up," and then press Enter once for each position you want to move the
element by.
To move an element down in the ranking, press the Tab key until you hear "Move
option down," and then press Enter once for each position you want to move the
element by.
âª
Notes:
This is not so successful with Firefox where it is difficult to find the
options to rank and then difficult to set the move up or move down mode.
After managing to activate the dialog, Firefox Confirms the position of the
selection in the hierarchy by displaying the position number, for example: â2
of 4â, â3 of 4â, â4 of 4â as the selection moves step by step
downward in the list.
This is not available in Chrome or Edge where frequent tabbing back and forth
is needed to be clear on the newly ranked position.
All the best,
Cearbhall
