[NABS-L] Is KaHoot Accessible?

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello Ka,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my message. Do you know how the timer was extended or how long they set the timer so that someone could read the questions and answers aloud for you to select your answer?

I recommended using the polling feature in Zoom instead of using KaHoot. But apparently it is more complicated to set up. Or at least this is what the person who wants to run the trivia game told me.

Anyway, thank you for your suggestions.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

I've only tried it on the computer with NVDA and I found it not to be 
very accessible. I could only see the buttons for the answers. What we 
did when we were using this at work as an icebreaker was to extend the 
timer and so that someone could read the question out loud and then I 
would click on an answer with NVDA.

Hope this helps.

Ka

I wanted to try the demo again using the website with my IPhone using Voiceover. But it would not let us try out the demo game again.
