Results for Zoho Show

Users can upload PowerPoint files which are immediately loaded into their area. Editing is in a similar interface to PowerPoint with the ability to save, publish and share slides.
Accessibility Testing Results
The edit mode is very similar to PowerPoint but sadly not all aspects are keyboard accessible - so you can reach the shapes but not drag them to the edit area without the use of the mouse. Notes can be added for each slide in text readable format. Links in the edit mode are all in javascript and not accessible to a screen reader. However, the player on the main site is keyboard accessible and if the publisher has added notes or a transcript this can be read. Text is small but with good contrast and zooms well on the main site but not so easy on the editor.
