accessibility

Adobe seems to boast a lot of 'access for all' in their launch of Express- however there are zero accessibility functions to add alternative text to images used in the presentations. We love the quick and easy designs we can create using the pages - but we are unable to use them because, as a government agency, we need to have our collateral be ADA compliant. I've mentioned this numerous times at Adobe Max, and just keep getting the canned 'ADA Compliance is important to us, and we're working on it.' Yet- it seems so clunky and cumbersome in all the programs. At the very least- allow the functionality of adding alternative text in the Express Presentation Pages.

    UPDATE: On my Mac desktop, I just took EXPRESS for a run in Chrome. YAY! Test to Speech is working here. BRAVO! Now Adobe needs to implement that in the iPad app and all of the Creative Cloud software.

    I couldn't agree more. I have used Adobe forever. 25 years? I started losing my central vision five years ago but can use Voice Over and other Apple Accessibility features to navigate the web and most computer software. BUT NOT ADOBE!!!
    Not Photoshop. Not InDesign. Not Illustrator. I should be able to put my cursor over a tab and Hear what it is.
    Now you have introduced EXPRESS. On my iPad, I should be able to have Voice Over on and tap a template button and hear what it is. "IG Story" or "Logo" but what I here is "button" on all buttons.
    Put the Alt Text coding in, bozos.
    I complained to Apple Accessibility: "How can you allow apps in you App Store that are not Accessibility Compliant? " They sent me to this link.
    Why are Adobe products not Accessible?

    Would I be more effective if I was Tweeting that Adobe discriminates against the Visually Impaired?

    Accessibility features and the ability to export properly tagged documents is essential to my work as well. I can not recommend Express until this is added.
