Accessibility updates from December 2023 to February 2024
Welcome to our first accessibility update of 2024!
Our Accessibility Team has been busy over the past three months. We’re very excited to share some things we’re doing to make Miro a more accessible and inclusive innovation experience:
Accessible context menu: We know how important having good keyboard navigation is. Now you can use keyboard shortcuts to move focus from an object to the floating context menu, change the object’s properties, and move focus back to the object again. If you want more info about available keyboard shortcuts, check out our Keyboard Navigation article in the Help Center.
Accessibility Conformance Report: Our partner, Level Access, concluded their external accessibility audit of Miro. You’ll see that in our most recent Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), we got “Supports” or “Partially supports” for every success criteria. Behind the scenes, our teams are continuing to work to resolve the reported issues.
We’ve also been busy advocating for accessibility by writing blog posts and speaking at conferences. Our Head of Accessibility, Phil Strain, wrote about How AI Will Transform Digital Accessibility in CIO Dive. Our Senior Software Engineer, Adrián Bolonio Cuesta, ran a workshop about web accessibility at an external bootcamp. Our QA Engineer, Peter Gould, spoke about Miro’s accessibility journey at the Ctrl Alt Del Summit.
But we’re not finished. We also have a few exciting features coming soon, like Miro Assist suggestions for image alt text. Stay tuned for updates over the next few months!
We love hearing your feedback about the accessibility experience on Miro. Feel free to send any thoughts to accessibility@miro.com.
