Hi there, at our organisation we have Recite Me configured on our main external sites. We would like to have it configured on our Experience Cloud site but I'm struggling and just wondered if anyone else had some experience with this? This is the guide (HTML (reciteme.com)) that I have been given but it feels like there are a few steps missing. I'm not sure where the Event listener script would go but have been able to add script to the Header and create or add a button with HTML.

Hello all,  

I'm Kurt Iobst - the Customer Accessibility Advisory Lead at Salesforce and I will be hosting an Accessibility Roundtable at TDX.  If you are planning on attending, I'd love to have you join us. 

Any questions about the event? Please reach out.

Good evening everyone.  Can anyone point me to an article or post that details the types of accommodations salesforce provides during test taking?  I have seen the articles about time accommodations and the potential for other types (with a doctor's note), but cannot find anything to read that details the types of accommodations that are in the realm of the possible.  I have trouble with detail and memory recall as a result of brain related injuries, and I am concerned that the types of accommodations that would be helpful for me are completely counter to the testing rules.  Thank you.

Hi everyone,  Wondering if anyone has experience using #dragon naturally speaking speech recognition software with salesforce lightning? We are having some difficulties with some elements like checkboxes and radio buttons and wondered if any Dragon users has some pro tips or hacks?  Alternatively, are any speech recognitions software you have found that works well with Salesforce?  Thank you Rebecca   

Hi all, 

I recently started a new job and we use Salesforce Lightning version. I'm in a customer service role and need to be able to quickly find specific cases, users, accounts, and other information. I'm having a difficult time learning the navigation because there's so much to go through. I use JAWS and consider myself a seasoned user, but I find JAWS getting stuck in panels, jumping over pieces of information, and it takes a long time to find the stuff I need. Many large tools like this have a commands list (Ctrl + / for example) and or accessibility mode features. I can't find a list of commands anywhere, and I know that the classic Salesforce version had an accessibility mode but Lightning does not. Navigating with standard JAWS keychords/nav keys is tedious, frustrating, and takes forever. Any help is appreciated!

I need some help finding where to start learning VLOOKUP using Jaws screen reader. quick keys, knowing how to call / reference other worksheets in the formula, and some general guidance.

Hello

Can anyone please recommend tried assistive technology that is free.

• Speech to text
• Magnifier

I am looking for tried and tested which actually work and are easy to use. Thanks in advance, Jitka 

I really wish Trailhead would make content accessible. There is still no audio playback for the trails and that is how I learn most effectively as a special needs individual. It also took me forever to get to this page from the Trailhead mobile app when I click leave feedback. It should go right to the field since I am already signed in on Trailhead.

I wrote a Salesforce-related blog piece designed to explain what ADHD is for those who have never knowingly come across it before - giving an insight into 10% of your Salesforce and non-Salesforce colleagues!

Hello everyone. I am totally blind, and I am having issues with creating reports. This part of the salesforce platform doesn't seem to be accessible for someone who is blind using a screen reader. I've been able to access everything else on my own on this platform, but this seems to be the only difficulty I am having. I am currently stuck in two trails because of the inaccessibility of creating reports. There doesn't seem to be a screen reader friendly tutorial available option when it comes to dealing with reports. I am currently working on building an app for a project which requires me to create and run a report.

For reference, I am using the screen reader NVDA. Is anyone here familiar with this issue, or can someone point me in the right direction to a group where I can get some assistance? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
