UserWay announced the launch of UserWay for Microsoft PowerPoint, which makes presentations accessible for people with disabilities, better for teams, and compliant for organizations. UserWay's platform is built for the highest standards set by the ADA, Section 508, PDF/UA, and WCAG 2.1 & 2.2. When presentations collide with assistive technologies: With 1.2 billion MS Office users across sectors including business, government and academia, there has been no end-to-end solution to fully support accessible PowerPoint files. Consequently, slides rich with data, content and infographic appear unnecessary with no sequenced order when being accessed by screen reader users.

The accessible slide has become an agent of discrimination by omission. UserWay for MS PowerPoint allows team members to handle accessibility on the spot, solving the most complicated part of PowerPoint accessibility - creating logical reading sequences, structured headings, with rapid export to an accessible PDF file. Once installed, the solution works inside of MS PowerPoint as an integrated accessibility Tool.

It scans presentations for accessibility issues, applies automatic fixes, and guides users to solve any remaining issues step by step. It tackles common problems like missing alternative texts for images, color contrast violations, heading structure, inaccessible links, tables, lists and more. UserWay for MS PowerPoint joins the company's product family for digital documents used by public companies, government agencies, major banks, and telecoms. In August 2023, UserWay for MS Office was shortlisted for the coveted Zero Project 2024 award, with disability inclusion experts from around the world acknowledging the company's impact on inclusive technology.
