Gillian Middleton enhanced the accessibility and usability of the pagination cursor in the MyPureCloud/genesys-spark repository, focusing on improving support for NVDA screen readers. She refactored the component’s front end using TypeScript and Web Components, replacing the direct screenreader-text property on gux-icon with a dedicated gux-screen-reader-beta component to provide more robust screen reader announcements. By marking icons as decorative and ensuring previous and next buttons are properly announced, she aligned the UI with accessible design standards. This work improved the overall accessibility of the pagination flow, reducing potential defects and support needs while preserving the existing user interface layout.
