Accessibility for Confluence

Enable screen reader mode without login screen

Question

Is it possible to enable Screen Reader mode without using the Confluence login screen?

Users will be able to launch Confluence without encountering the login screen, for example, from Jira Service Desk or from an external authentication provider (using our own SSO solution, not the native login solution).

Are we able to pass a parameter on login to trigger the screen reader mode?

Solution

There's a really easy way to trigger screen reader mode after logging in: press the Tab key, and a hidden link will appear at the top of the page. You can find further details in our documentation: User Guide
