Re: Invision app and accessibility

Hi Michellanne,

I don’t believe the Invision App interface has been designed or developed
with accessibility as a core part of it—probably not even as an
afterthought. I’d be happy to hear otherwise, though!

That said, we still use Invision for accessibility reviews during our (and
our clients’) wire framing and design prototyping work—but they are more
about early UX and visual design. We don’t ask our blind colleagues to
review assets in Invision (or the interface itself).

I know that’s not much help for your specific question, but thought I’d
reply to let you know you’re not alone in your desire to have tools like
Invision be more accessible to all folks. If anyone else on the list knows
about Invision making progress toward a more accessible web app, I would
love to hear about it.

Thanks for chiming in on the list Michellanne.

-Robert

My agency is brainstorming ways we can improve the accessibility of our
design and strategy deliverables, and we are having trouble finding any
documentation regarding screen reader accessibility for Invision.

Does anybody have experience using a screen reader to access Invision? We
are working on building our fluency in screen reader testing, but for the
moment, nobody on my team is able to use one.

Thanks!
