1. Tools for assisting those with visual impairments:
– Screen reader software (such as JAWS and NVDA) converts text into audio or braille output.
– Magnification tools or programs help zoom in on the Salesforce interface.
– Dark mode can be beneficial for users with certain visual disabilities.
2. Screen Reader Software:
– JAWS and NVDA work well with the front end of Salesforce, but some hiccups may occur.
– Workarounds may be needed for blind Salesforce professionals to perform their tasks like their sighted peers.
3. Magnification:
– Web browsers have built-in zooming features, but it can be clunky in the Salesforce interface.
– Operating systems have magnification options, but commercial tools like ZoomText and SuperNova offer more robust features.
4. Color Processing (Dark Themes/Dark Mode):
– Some users with visual disabilities may not benefit from magnification and need a different display method.
– Dark mode can be useful for users with conditions like cataracts or migraines.
5. System-Level Dark Modes/Themes:
– Operating systems have built-in dark themes or dark mode, but the effectiveness may vary.
– Enabling “high contrast mode” or contrast themes ensures a consistent dark theme across all sites.
– Mac users may only see a dark mode on sites designed for it, while others will display normally.
