Hello,
I am a totally blind DND player who requires a digital solution to manage my character. I am now using a site which will be closing down due to Google's API shutting down at the end of the year.
Your character site seems really accessible except for the fact that when boxes pop up JAWS For Windows, NVDA, and Voice Over are all unable to interact with the popups. I was able to use the virtual mouse with JAWS to make the alert go away however, JAWS will not interact with the page again until the page is manually refreshed. I have tried to use the site with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Safari on my mobile phone.
I would really like to use your tools for Character Creation and management and would be happy to assist in any way I can to help make them work with a screen reader so that other people who are blind can be included to play DND.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Grace

  Thanks for the feedback on this and I can confirm we will be focusing a great deal on screen reader accessibility starting in 2019.

  I am a professional web accessibility tester. I have had a somewhat easier experience using the Character Builder with VoiceOver on Mac, but the modal dialogs are still problematical. I will reach out via the official contact form to offer my experience.
