Microsoft COPILOT and NVDA

[Ed Marquette]

When I run the COPILOT application from my laptop, the responses are generally read aloud by NVDA, and I can have the results of the inquiry repeated by pressing NVDA Key + B; however, there are times when a closer examination would be useful. Then the arrow keys do not work. I cannot get the arrow keys on the numeric keypad to work either. Shifting in and out of Focus Mode doesn't work, and none of the "review" modes seems to work.

Once, I accidentally got the arrow keys working, and I even copied and pasted the text into a Word document.

Even downloading a file is problematic. I am instructed to download, using "the card above," but I really don't know what a computer card is (Well, in the old days, we used to  take the cover off and install "cards," but that is way different.) 😊

The Copilot app isn't properly accessible. If a message is too long, it
won't be read in full. I wonder how much content you may be missing.
You may continue to use the app or you may use the actual Copilot web
site itself. But for getting the response in a form where you can see
the whole of it, when the response is available, tab to the copy button
and press the space bar. That will copy the entire response to the
clipboard and you can then paste it into Notepad or whatever other word
processor or text editor you wish. I haven't downloaded files so I
can't comment on that. Or you might just want to use the web site and
not use an application that Microsoft can't bother to make properly
accessible. Maybe five or six months ago, the app was changed and it
became not properly accessible and it hasn't been since.
