I'm sighted but goshdarnit some of the little accessibility features that microsoft have worked into their products are super useful. Readaloud for example in Edge, a lifesaver when you have to trawl thru azure docs at doublespeed.

My biggest beef with Microsoft around accessibility is how keyboard shortcuts are slowly dying out as apps move to becoming embedded webapps. Excel on windows for example has great keyboard navigability. Teams does not.




Excel on windows is an javascript application too right? No ?


Not to my knowledge. The 365 apps can be run in a browser or as native windows desktop apps. I avoid the former as they seem slow to me. And their keyboard shortcuts clash with those of the containing web browser.
