[GUI-Talk] Duolingo

Sun Aug 4 15:50:34 UTC 2019

Hello Jen,

On the Duolingo website, if you are asked to translate a sentence into English, you have two options.  The first option allows you to type in the answer.  This option is not available on the iOS application.  
This works.  

The other option is called the word bank option.  This gives you several words, and you tap on the words that make up the English translation of the sentence.  This does not work on the Windows web site, nor on the iOS application.

Hi Louis,

First, I know how you feel. it's really hard to explain how access technology reads or doesn't read things to those who don't use it.

When you say Dualingo doesn't recognize the button pushes, what do you mean?
I've never used any iOS programs before. If you tell me how JAWS sees it, I can help you explain it to others on the site.

Jen

Hello,

I am trying to use the Duolingo
"https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.duolingo.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C4c60cddea8ff420a9a5708d718dcc4c6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637005208779659550&sdata=hmdOXw6vCHiK92EfkuQw0KAY%2FCti7eEcOmBjyL5paFU%3D&reserved=0"
web site and iOS application to learn Spanish.  While I can answer the questions on the web site, using Firefox and Windows 10, with difficulty, it can be done.

I am unable to answer the questions using the Duolingo iOS application.  For example, if you must translate the phrase "el hombre" into English, the answer is "the man".  In the application, you are given several words that are buttons.  You must hit the "the" button and the "man" button.  The application does not recognize these two button pushes.

I have not found a way to contact the developers from the web site nor from the application.

I have not found a clear way to ask the question on the AppleVis

web site.

I would appreciate any help people can give on either the iOS or website Duolingo applications.
