For July we’re focusing on five free accessibility resources.
1) Dos and don’ts on designing for accessibility
This page, and its associated Dos and Don’ts posters, provide general guidelines and best design practices for making services accessible.
2) Maintaining Accessibility during COVID-19
This page from the Province of Manitoba outlines some service accessibility challenges during the pandemic and how they might be addressed.
3) Accessibility Toolkit – 2nd Edition
The accessibility Toolkit by Amanda Coolidge, Sue Doner, Tara Robertson, and Josie Gray provides information on how to make online documents and videos more accessible.
4) Make your PowerPoint presentations accessible to people with disabilities
This page from Microsoft Support provides information on best practices for what to fix in your PowerPoint slides, how to find it, why to fix it, and how to fix it. Information is relevant to PowerPoint for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Windows 10 app and the Web.
5) Otter.ai
Otter allows you to record and transcribe audio, which is useful for providing written transcripts for videos. There is a variety of pricing levels available, including a free version.
