Accessibility
I would like to request that Adobe Spark files be accessible for screen readers so I can post to my website - thank you
Hi everyone! We’d love to hear your feedback on how we can make Spark Post more accessible for you to use.
As you know, accessibility can include many thing things, please comment here on what aspect of the app you’d like to see improvements first. The more detail the better.
Thank you!

If the page cannot be screen reader compliant please provide EXPORT to PDF so it could be read in any Acrobat Reader or Preview (Mac)

I totally agree. This is an absolute requirement at our University. I would promote this product in a big way if it were readable.

Diversity includes disability. I ask that Adobe Spark be usable for a diverse audience.

I'd like Spark to be able to meet WCAG 2.0 AA so my university can continue using it.

Microsoft Sway has made their "version" of Spark accessible. May be a good workaround.

Just want to add my voice to the chorus asking for accessibility compliance with Spark. I love the tool but am limited in how much I can use it without 508 compliance.
Thanks!

Totally would love this too! Cannot use the product without 508 and I see many applications for Spark!

I want this too! I am on the board of an organization advocating for accessible websites, books, etc. I NEVER recommend a product that is not completely accessible.
Please comply (or allow compliance) with the WCAG 2.0 rules for Section 508 compliance.
One thing I found that was inaccessible in Spark pages is that the title of the page is not "Heading 1". Headings are essential for navigation using the keyboard and a screen reader, this is especially true of Heading 1.

Have you received any feedback on this issue? -

Spark should be fully ADA compliant, as should all sites on the web. ADA compliance requirements have been around long enough that it should be the standard instead of the exception. And it is not just visual issues, but audible and navigation (non mouse navigation).

Make Spark ADA accessible for those with visual disabilities by designing the page so it can be read with a screen reader, including adding the ability to add alt text to images.
