Accessibility for the blind
I recently found out that I have a legally blind student in my class where I require the use of either Zotero or Mendeley. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any information on how accessible Zotero is to the blind. Does anyone know of some sites that might be able to help with this?
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
At that point, Dan explained that Zotero should be accessible thanks to its roots in Firefox, but he said that the devs had not explicitly tested it.
My understanding is that this shouldn't be a problem, but it would be very good to know what in Zotero ends up posing difficulties, since accessibility is of course valued, and the developers will definitely make any needed changes to address them.
Maybe your university's office that handles such accommodations could help you test out Zotero with such software?
