Description
Code
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>French Screen Reader Test</title> </head> <body lang="fr"> Ce paragraphe est défini en français. </body> </html>
Steps to test
- Save the HTML document above into a *.html file on disk
- On a Windows system in English locale, install both the English and French voice packs for text-to-speech (https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/132456-add-remove-speech-voices-windows-10-a.html )
- Turn on Windows Narrator
- Use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge to load this *.html file and get Windows Narrator to read its contents
- Use the WebEngine Widgets Simple Browser Example to load this *.html file and get Windows Narrator to read its contents
Note: If Windows Narrator doesn't read the text in the HTML page when it loads, try tweaking the Narrator Cursor settings (https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/chapter-7-customizing-narrator-ce950246-c915-0d44-9be6-fb474387a285 ) and interact with the text with your mouse (hover, highlight, click)
Outcomes
- On Chrome/Edge, Windows Narrator reads the text with a French voice/accent (Expected)
- On Qt WebEngine 6.8.2, Windows Narrator reads the text with an English voice/accent (Not Expected)
