UWP: Screenreader (JAWS) does not work in a webview

135 views Asked by At

I load a local webpage in my webview, simply like this:

string url = "ms-appdata:///local/Templates/template.html";
_webView.Navigate(new Uri(url));

The webview needs to be compatible with JAWS (a screen reader).

It seems like JAWS completely ignores the text webview, even though it's focused

Does anyone know how to make the webview accessible?

Also, Narrator on a phone works fine, but on desktop the identifier of the object is spoken instead of the text itself
