[Trainer-Talk] Top 3 most powerful but least utilized access technology and accessibility features

[Greg Aikens]

I would say that I don't think people are taking advantage of how easy and readily available OCR solutions have become. 

On a related note, I often still hear people complaining about how PDFs are not accessible, which simply isn't true.

I couldn't say if this is an under-utilized feature but I'm wondering if the Text Analyzer feature from JAWS is being used to its fullest potential. I will admit that NVDA has become my screen reader of choice and is what I use, pretty much exclusively, at home. However, if I found myself needing to type professional documents with very specific formatting requirements I would likely use JAWS for this purpose because of its text analyzer feature.

Hi all,

A counselor inspired me to ask this question. As trainers, what do you
think are the top 3 most powerful accessibility features or assistive
technology functions that most blind and visually impaired users are
not aware of or are under-utilizing?

Let's have a poll.

Best,
Phil
