Using a screen reader with Report Server (on premise)

Dear Community,
our Power BI report must also be usable for users with disabilities. So if a user uses a screen reader, it must be able to process the contents of the Power BI report.

If we save our Power BI report in the Power BI Service and call it up there, the screen reader can, for example, navigate from cell to cell in the table and read the values aloud. However, if we save the Power BI report on our local report server, the screen reader cannot process the report.

We use JAWS as our screen reader.

If any of you have had similar experiences and can help us solve this problem?

Thank you very much!

Hello.  I wonder if you ever figured anything out with this? I use a screen reader, and am new to Power BI, from a developer perspective.  I am seeking other Power BI screen reader users.  Thanks!
