      When using a screen reader to interpret Confluence (in this example, the screen reader used was JAWS screen reader), there are a number of problems :

      • The first item on the page (a logo?) has not be labelled, it just says “graphic”
      • The link between “Help” and the user’s name has been labelled “0”
      • The item that follows immediately after the user’s name (a logo again?) is unlabelled and just says “graphic”
      • It impossible to upload files as the ‘browse for files’ option does not appear to be visible to a screenreader or accessible using the keyboard

      These should be rectified to make Confluence more accessible to visually-impaired users
