Use a screen reader to work with the Charts view in Project

This article is for people who use a screen reader program such as Windows Narrator, JAWS, or NVDA with Microsoft 365 products. This article is part of the Microsoft 365 screen reader support content set where you can find more accessibility information on our apps. For general help, visit Microsoft Support.

Use Project for the web with your keyboard and a screen reader to open and work with the Charts view. We have tested it with Narrator in Microsoft Edge, but it might work with other screen readers and web browsers as long as they follow common accessibility standards and techniques. You'll learn how to navigate the Charts view to receive a quick overview of project elements like task status and the content of buckets.

Notes:

New Microsoft 365 features are released gradually to Microsoft 365 subscribers, so your app might not have these features yet. To learn how you can get new features faster, join the Office Insider program.
To learn more about screen readers, go to How screen readers work with Microsoft 365.
When you use Project for the web, we recommend that you use Microsoft Edge as your web browser. Because Project for the web runs in your web browser, the keyboard shortcuts are different from those in the desktop program. For example, you’ll use Ctrl+F6 instead of F6 for jumping in and out of the commands. Also, common shortcuts like F1 (Help) and Ctrl+O (Open) apply to the web browser – not Project for the web.

Open the Charts view

Press the Tab key until you hear the currently selected tab, for example, "Grid tab item."
Press the Down, Right, Up, or Left arrow key until you hear "Charts, tab," and then press Enter.

Navigate the Charts view

The Charts view contains charts representing the status of project tasks, the contents of buckets used in the project, and work completed per person.

To review the overall project status, press the Tab key until you hear "Status donut chart," followed by a listing of how many tasks are late, how many have been completed, how many are in progress, and how many have not been started. To review the chart element by element, press the Tab key once, and then press the SR key+Right arrow key to navigate inside the chart.
To review the contents of task buckets in your project, press the Tab key until you hear "Bucket bar chart," followed by the number of buckets in your project and the number of tasks assigned to each of them. To review the chart element by element, press the Tab key once, and then press the SR key+Right arrow key to navigate inside the chart.
To review the hours spent per person on the project, press the Tab key until you hear "Members bar chart," followed by the number of project members, and then the name of each member and the amount of hours they have assigned to them. To review the hour assignments in detail, press the Tab key once, and then press the SR key+Right arrow key to navigate inside the chart.
