Using Word 365 Learning Tools (Immersive) for basic tests
If you have access to Word 365, either on your computer or via a (non-mobile) browser you can do a basic test of accessibility of mathematics using the immersive learning tools. Any maths that is not appropriately read aloud is not accessible.
To use this tool:
- In the ribbon click on View
- Click on navigation to open the navigation pane. This will show the heading structure of the document.
- Click on Learning Tools (Immersive)
- Increase the text size, change the colours etc. and have a look at the result.
