Accessibility Work & Publishing Group

I would like to propose that Miro sponsor a group of facilitators / UX designers / disabled users to collaborate and test the most common facilitation exercises on Miro, adapting the exercises or creating workarounds, then publishing what worked as a “happy medium” for all disabled users.

The challenge is that solving one problem often creates new problems for other groups -- for example, auto captioning the Talktracks, yay for Deaf and hard of hearing users -- but those who have speech impediments won’t be able to utilize that feature, so a workaround would be to write a timed script and have a bot voice it.

Another use case scenario, now that we have AI, is to train it to read boards and describe the visuals to blind users. On and on potential solutions goes, we just need to create the documentation for the HOW.

The ONLY THING WE NEED? Miro’s commitment. We have the people and the desire -- when searching for Accessibility related posts on the Wish List, there are SO MANY of us making requests!!!! We want it because we love Miro, but we also have principles and values we cannot compromise on. Miro, please make it happen so we don’t have to adopt other, less awesome whiteboarding apps! 😍
