screen readers do not read the presentations created in impress as well as they do not read the entire documents, carrying out a pause at the end of a paragraph. This behavior is noted with NVDA 2015.3 and LibreOffice 5.3.2 as well as the previous 4.7.2.
Repro with NVDA 2015.4. It doesn't read what is in the slide.

I can confirm this issue still exists in LibreOffice 5.4.2.2 (x64) and NVDA 2017.3. For what it's worth, you also can't read presentations in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.4. Even using NVDA's object navigation (which lets you identify the different parts of a window or object), I can't get to the text, or the objects on a slide. (See https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/userGuide.html#toc29 for information on NVDA's Object Navigation)

(See > https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/userGuide.html#toc29 for > information on NVDA's Object Navigation) hello. in libreoffice and openoffice (no matter which version i use), it seems that impress is not accessibile for blind users. i cant read the content of presentation, i think that can only use page up or page down to navigate and read the header of each slide, but cant read its content using nvda! i sometimes use tab and impress wants me whether i want to save the changes in the file or not. i realy dont know is impress completely inaccessible for screen reader users? or if using it is possible, how should i read the content of presentations and each slide. God bless you all.

Just replying to confirm this issue still exists in LO 6.1.3.2 as well as Open Office 4.1.6. One very messy workaround using NVDA is that the OCR function will read the text on screen. This would not be at all ideal when giving a presentation however. Also, anyone considering testing with NVDA, we no longer require an email address on the download page (though there is still provision to provide one if you wish): https://www.nvaccess.org/download
