Consuming accessible content is transformative for both individuals and organisations. Microsoft’s Immersive Reader can improve reading comprehension for users with dyslexia, while Windows’ built-in tools like Narrator, Magnifier, and Speech Recognition empower millions of users with vision, hearing, and mobility challenges to independently access digital information.
