Accessibility for visually impaired user

Dady.M.5804

I just want to inquire in terms of the availability of functionalities and accommodations for a visually impaired student on arc

 

Could you kindly provide some insight on accessibility features, if any, on Arc, for example, screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, text-to-speech options, or any other readily available support mechanism? Additionally, if there are specific guidelines or resources to enhance accessibility, I would really appreciate your guidance.

 

Thank you!
