Integrating NVDA with Chromium

[kyrylo-pshenychnyi]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to integrate NVDA with my app that uses Chromium browser for the visual representation. Right now, the Chromium accessibility tree is visible from my app by Accessibility Insights for Windows app. However, NVDA does not narrate focused elements (buttons, input fields, etc.).

I build NVDA to see what's going on - to be precise I see that the get_accDescription function is not called for a focused node. So my question is - how can I debug NVDA to see why this function is not called?

Any help will be appreciated.

NVDA relies on a few window class names to determine something is a chromium document.
Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND, Chrome_WidgetWin_0, Chrome_WidgetWin_1.

Hi, are we talking about Chromium as a web browser or a web view? Thanks.
