The two-finger scrub gesture also now works to close any pop-up or dialogue screen. When you have finished reading a timeline entry using the iOS app, for example, you can now perform a two-finger double-tap to summon a VoiceOver menu, which includes options to Like the post, comment, turn on notifications, or indicate "I don't want to see this" (which will hide the story). "We've put a lot of work into improving the accessibility of the Facebook and Facebook Messenger native apps, and in some cases we can build accessibility experiences in these applications we simply can't easily replicate on the Web (like use of gestures)," he says.

Many of these shortcut keys conflict with browser keys, however, so for now, at least, you will have to either use your screen reader pass-through command, or turn off enhanced browser navigation (Forms Mode in JAWS, Focus Mode in NVDA, and Browser Mode in Window-Eyes). Much the same way as most screen readers offer single-key navigation shortcuts to help you quickly find your way around a webpage, Facebook offers a number of single-key commands to perform various actions.

Additionally, the main Facebook website also offers an extensive roster of Access and Shortcut keys to help you navigate the site and quickly perform actions, such as liking, searching, and sharing. Facebook Offers Extensive Keyboard Navigationįor computer users who do not use a mouse, including most screen reader users, the main Facebook website makes extensive use of headings, landmarks, and lists, which can be easily navigated with your screen reader navigation keys. Recently, AccessWorld spoke with team founder, Jeff Wieland, and accessibility engineer Ramya Sethuraman, who offered us a top-10 list of things they'd like our readers to know about Facebook's accessibility program and products. In July of 2011, the company formed the Facebook Accessibility Team to improve its support of accessibility across products. Thanks to consumer feedback, and working with several organizations, including the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB), Facebook has taken accessibility to a whole new level. So, in order to help readers more fully enjoy their Facebook experience, we are excited to offer the following information. The company continuously evolves its products, which can introduce changes to screen reader flow. For users of computer and mobile access technologies, however, at times, there can be challenges. Facebook is an excellent way to keep in touch with friends and family.
