Hi all,


I'm using Google Chrome Version 97.0.4692.99 on a Windows 11 64-bits
computer and NVDA 2021.3.1 screen reader. For the moment, I don't know
how to interact with a terminal frame when this frame is part of a web
page. I can focus on the edit field in which I could enter command lines
but since I cannot read anything from the frame, it is useless for me.
Is there an accessible way to interact with web pages which display
terminal frames?


Here is an example of such a page


Since I'd like to familiarize myself with Kubernetes, I tried to run the
tutorial located on
<https://kubernetes.io/fr/docs/tutorials/kubernetes-basics/create-cluster/cluster-interactive/>.
Then, when I click the "Start scenario" button, a terminal frame is
displayed and some commands and their results are sent to it.


How should I manage to read such a terminal session if possible? If not,
my next question will probably be off topic but since i hardly need it,
here it is: Does anyone know of an accessible alternative to follow this
tutorial please?


Many thanks in advance. Have a nice day. Chris D

Quite often, these terminals are drawn with a canvas tag, and the only option you have to access their content is to either contact the person who built it (which can be a long shot) or try to use OCR to read the screen instead.

Good luck.

Aaron
