Enabling Screen Reader Support

You must enable screen reader support in order to use screen readers, magnifiers, and other accessibility tools to work in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System. Enabling screen reader support is a preference setting in Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace. When you enable screen reader support in EPM Workspace, you enable screen reader support for all integrated components (for example, Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console, Oracle Hyperion Planning, Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager, and so on). If you change the Accessibility Mode setting during a session, you must log off and restart the browser for this change to take effect.

EPM System supports the newest versions of Assistive Technologies such as JAWS and MAGic.

Note:

  • If you are using JAWS screen reader, Oracle recommends using the Microsoft Edge browser.

    If accessibility is enabled, and a user logs on with an unsupported browser, the user can still log on with accessibility mode disabled and not visible in the unsupported browser. By default, disabled components on the user interface are not read by the JAWS reader.

  • Oracle does not recommend using JAWS and MAGic simultaneously or using MAGic as a screen reader.
  • When Accessibility Mode is enabled, progress indicators are not available.

To enable screen reader support:

  1. Access EPM Workspace.
  2. Select File and then Preferences.
  3. On the Preferences dialog box, under Accessibility Mode, select Enable Screen Reader Support.

    This option optimizes EPM System to work with screen readers.

  4. Click OK.
