Okay, so *somebody* may have forgotten to tweet the final tip yesterday. 😐 ChromeVox is a free screen reader extension for Google Chrome. Why not try accessing digital resources/environments to see how they might be improved? 💻 We hope you've enjoyed #11DaysofA11y! 👋

Our penultimate #11DaysofA11y tip. 🥺 As a general rule across @gsuite apps, help visually impaired users to know what is being displayed by adding image descriptions. Right click on any image and select Alt text... Try to be succinct, accurate and avoid jargon. 👌

Day 9 of #11DaysofA11y, and a recent @gsuite #a11y feature to try. 👀 In Google Slides, enable closed captioning to transcribe live presentations using Google’s speech-to-text technology (requires Google Chrome and a microphone). 🎙 More information at support.google.com/docs/answer/91….

Ready for the 8th #11DaysofA11y @gsuite tip? 🤓 Long documents can be frustrating to read. In Google Docs, apply heading styles to your text and turn on Tools → Document outline to create a straightforward navigation menu. 📑 #GSuiteEdu #a11y

Checking colour combinations for resources such as presentations is a great way to improve accessibility. Providing them in a digital format also means that adjustments can be made quickly and easily. 🖍️ Try the WebAim Contrast Checker at webaim.org/resources/cont…. #11DaysofA11y

If you use Google Slides, the Grackle add-on (Add-ons → Get add-ons) will check the accessibility of your formatting. Grackle advises on potential issues such as missing titles, image descriptions and colours, making for more accessible presentations. 👌 #11DaysofA11y #a11y
