Make textbox contents accessible to screen readers
Currently, when a screen reader like JAWS encounters a textbox, the contents of the textbox are not accessible. At the least, the Show Data table should produce a single-cell table containing the contents of the textbox. Ideally, the contents of the textbox would be available to the screen reader without having to go to the Show Data table.

Slicer options should be read by the OS screen reader/narrator
The OS screen reader/narrator will not detect the available option available within a slicer in Power BI. The screen reader will narrate the title of the slicer, however there is no more guidance beyond this to make slicer contents accessible so that the end user is aware which slicer options are selected/highlighted.
Ideally, any options within a slicer should be announced by the screen reader by default. Following this, any further selections by the user are announced.

PowerBI Reader
It would be great if there existed a run-time or BI reader application that could be shared among users to view a .bpix file without a cloud connection. An external cloud connection is a no-go at my shop, and it is likely to be some time before we update from Office 2013. I believe Office 365 has some ways to do this using SharePoint.

Enable readers to pin tiles
If a user only has read access he cannot create a customized dashboard from all the reports he can read. Giving the reader this possibility would allow users to quickly make actual personalized dashboards with all the tiles they find relevant.

Hide / Show Filters for Report Readers
There's an option to show or hide the entire Filter Pane for report readers, but I'd like an option to hide all / show all filters at ONLY the visual level, while retaining visibility of page-level and/or All Pages filters.

Make columns containing urls have embedded hyperlink in accessible show data table
Users with screen readers can now view a nice accessible table/matrix by selecting the visual and hitting Alt+Shift+F11. But if a column in a table contains a url, the user cannot "click" it. They have to try to copy the value from the table and paste it into a browser to access the url. It would be nice to have the hyperlink embedded in the accessible table for any fields that are data category of web url so a screen reader can use it to navigate to the target.

let the reader to enable/disable measures in matrix visual
it would be great if the reader/user of a published report can have a little bit of flexibility in terms of enable/disable measures added into the matrix visual by the designer.

Power BI Desktop for report server - Improve Accessibility for blind user
Improve usage of interactive elements for blind users. - Checkboxes and columns are not accessible by keyboard if the screen reader is running. - The role of many interactive elements is not perceivable, no role information is put out -The hierarchy level of some elements is visually displayed only via differing spaces before the elements but not put out by the screen reader. -For some field-checkboxes the description of another field is put out. - for some of the field checkboxes the misleading information “Selected” is put out - Following data tables cannot be perceived by blind users in a structured way. -- table of the Power Query-Editor -- table of the dialog “manage relations"

Option to remove or change accessibility tooltip links
Suggestion is for the developer to have the option to remove or change accessibility tooltip links. These accessibility tooltip links appear when you press tab in Power BI Service or in Report Server. The links are titled "Tips for using Power BI with a screen reader" and "Skip to main content". The "Skip to main content" link often keeps the user on the same page, which can be confusing. Additionally, the "Tips for using Power BI with a screen reader" brings the user to: Consuming reports in Power BI with accessibility tools - Power BI | Microsoft Docs. It would be nice to have the option to change the URL.

"Fullscreen default"
Fullscreen default view for report sharing with readers or accessed by readers on workspaces that have access, with optional to open full Power BI Service interface. Something similar is already possible in the "Public Link" report option and code to embed in websites and Sharepoint. Fullscreen default view for report sharing with readers or accessed by readers on workspaces that have access, with optional to open full Power BI Service interface. Something similar is already possible in the "Public Link" report option and code to embed in websites and Sharepoint. Motivation: Report readers, largely top management, have no focus on the Power BI interface. Usability would improve this user profile having the option to open a report published in Full Screen version by default, giving the option to access other platform menus just in case they want to.
