Learn how Adobe Connect addresses visual, auditory, and mobility challenges, aligning with key compliance standards.

Adobe Connect allows trainers, presenters, and meeting hosts to deliver engaging and informative experiences. The application is continuously enhanced to meet the needs of all types of users and to adhere to worldwide standards that include individuals with visual, auditory, mobility, or other impairments.

Adobe Connect publishes conformance information that describes the standards it adheres to, outlines the accessibility features of the reports, and describes the level of compliance. The Accessibility Conformance Reports help Adobe Connect users understand the level of adherence to various standards. The enhancements done in Adobe Connect allow all users to use the interfaces easily via keyboard, screen reader, magnifiers, and other assistive technologies.

Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs)

The following Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs) contain individual reports detailing the level of compliance.

Support for assistive technologies

Users with accessibility needs rely on hardware and software to access web content and use software products. These tools are known as assistive technologies. Adobe Connect can work with the following types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen readers
  • Screen contrast and color tools
  • Closed captioning
  • Keyboard navigation and shortcuts

What accessibility features support

Vision

Users with vision impairments can perform the following actions.

  • Use screen readers to hear user interface titles, notifications, and descriptions (such as menus, dialog boxes, and more).
  • Have meeting content, such as Notes, Chat, Polls, Q&A, and PDF documents, read aloud by screen readers.
  • Enable audio triggers to be notified of specific events, like new chat messages. 
  • Resize the meeting interface using keyboard shortcuts. 
  • Adjust display color and contrast settings through their Operating System settings or browser extensions.

Auditory

Users with hearing impairments can view the following actions.

Note:

These actions can only be performed if the Host has provided access.

  • Display closed captions and subtitles on MP4 and MP3 content. 
  • Watch presenters using sign language or lip-reading on a video.

Mobility

Users with mobility impairments can use their keyboard to:

  • Visit the session's layout, such as, title bar, menus, and pods..
  • Open menus
  • Move through or select any item on a dialog box.
  • Select poll options.
  • Select on-screen buttons.

View keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Connect for more information.

Accessibility in PDFs

Assistive technologies, such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver screen readers, can now access the PDF documents displayed in Adobe Connect meetings. The screen reader can access titles, text, hyperlinks, or Alt-text in images and reads them aloud for users with visual impairments.
