Accessibility updates in February, 2023
This update marks the start of a series that provides insight into the work of Miro’s Accessibility team, a group of accessibility specialists spanning Product, Design, and Engineering.
Our current user-facing priorities include
improved keyboard navigation of board widgets,
notifications on board interactions for users of assistive technologies, and
a better experience selecting and changing colors.
Behind the scenes, we’re working on improvements to our testing infrastructure and processes, to make it easier for our teams to detect and fix accessibility problems.
We’re on track to making these improvements available in March or April, respectively. We will inform you about progress here or on other Miro channels, like in our changelog or on our blog.
We’ve also been fixing a number of smaller accessibility issues, and made other improvements. These include but are not limited to:
general improvements for keyboard navigation
adding missing media alternatives (like alt text)
improving isolated issues with color contrast
fixing an issue around widget cloning
fixing an issue around reduced motion
Lastly, we’re preparing a comprehensive audit so as to validate our progress with respect to accessibility, and to provide an updated accessibility conformance report (ACR).
We’re going to explore additional and alternative ways to share more of what we’re doing to improve the Miro experience for everyone. For feedback and suggestions, please email us at accessibility@miro.com.
