The benefits of accessible documents are universal. -- Some people use aids to read documents including screen readers that read the text. -- Where a document is accessible to a screen reader it will also be machine readable for those who use programs to analyse. --- # Further convincing To help with empathy and understanding of what it's like to navigate a spreadsheet that cannot be 'scanned' visually, the following spreadsheet from [Hannah Thomas' blog](https://gss.civilservice.gov.uk/blog/accessibility-empathy-for-users-of-spreadsheets/) is blacked out and can only be read with navigating up and down the cells. [](https://gss.civilservice.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Empathy-spreadsheet.ods) .footnote[Note that the spreadsheet is in an .ods format which is readable by anyone, even if they don't have Microsoft Office] --- # Not just about screen readers Accessibility is about the greatest access for the greatest number of people and that isn't just about having a screen reader. * Zooming in/use a magnifier - not everyone needs, or wants to use a screen reader * Use non-dominant hand - motor disabilities * Use a keyboard, not mouse - not everyone like or uses a mouse * Try the high contrast mode - helps some visual conditions like cataracts * Listen to something whilst reading (that you don't ordinarily!) - replicates auditory conditions like Tinnitus * Lower the screen’s brightness – replicates the changes needed for glare --- class: inverse-white # No requirements for changes If we've never been asked for changes to be made to spreadsheets for accessibility requirements it means that it isn't needed: > "When using the spreadsheet with [screen reader software] JAWS and NVDA I found it to be a pleasant experience. In the past I have found spreadsheets to be extremely confusing, disorientating and stressful. In part this stress came from having to make the document partially accessible for my own needs. > >If all spreadsheets were created with as much care and attention to detail, I may not be as reluctant to work with them as I am today." --- ### What can we do? wrapping text within cells and not allowing text to run too far across a page helps people who use zoom functionality keeping information in cover sheets, content sheets and above tables within one column, helps navigation for people who struggle to use a mouse or who rely on keyboard-only navigation marking up tables so they can be tabbed through in a sensible order also makes things easier to navigate using the ‘automatic’ colour for fonts and not putting on any background fill helps people who have issues with colour contrast or glare by allowing their software to take on colour settings specific to them --- class: inverse-white, hide-logo # Footnotes The logo can be removed from a slide where the title overruns by using class: hide-logo .footnote[The **nhsr theme** was designed by [Silvia Canelon](https://silvia.rbind.io) for, and with feedback from, the [NHS-R Community](https://github.com/nhs-r-community), following the [NHS identity guidelines](https://www.england.nhs.uk/nhsidentity/identity-guidelines/).
