Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors People Profile
- SAP SuccessFactors Succession Planning
Reproducing the Issue
- Log into the system with a screen reader
- In the module picker, select Succession
- Select the Lineage Chart tab
- Select the Talent Card icon
- Locate the Formal Education or Work Experience Within Company sections and select the icon to view more information on the section
- Navigate to the date fields and they're announced as abbreviations
Cause
Expected behavior as the default settings for JAWS announce what is rendered on the screen.
Resolution
To announce the full month name instead of the abbreviation, install/add on a vocalizer by following the below steps
- Access Freedom Scientific - Synthesizers Downloads and download a vocalizer option based on the JAWS version you use
- Once the vocalizer has been successfully downloaded, open JAWS
- In the menu, select the Language tab
- Select Voice Profiles > Default > Vocalizer Expressive
