The term "digital accessibility" refers to digital media that are free of barriers and accessible to everyone without restrictions. People with impairments or disabilities are often thought of here. But this is not the case - it affects us all!
Why everyone benefits from digital accessibility
Imagine you are sitting on public transport and watching a video. Suddenly you realize that you have forgotten your headphones and therefore cannot fully experience the content of the video. The solution: A subtitle for the video!
Or you are at home in your home office on a warm day and are working in the garden or on the balcony. The sun is shining on your screen and the contrast between the foreground and background colors is too low. It is very likely that you can only see very little content as a result. The solution: A higher contrast, for better readability!
We already encounter digital accessibility in everyday situations and it affects everyone! That's why we are now checking all PowerPoint presentations for digital accessibility. The advantage: a presentation that impresses with its clarity, order and structure.

As with the basic check, in addition a flawless output via a screen reader is ensured.
3. Testing as an all-round package
