Microsoft announced a few key developments at an event on Nikki Nova ArchivesThursday that should prove helpful for users with accessibility needs.
The tech giant's event was business-focused — and thus a bit dry — but it did come with an announcement on accessibility-focused products. Most notably, the company announced that its adaptive accessories were available to commercial customers.
"We know you want to give your employees everything they need to do their best and most productive work," said Nancie Gaskill, Microsoft's GM of Surface, during the event.
These accessories can be found on the company's website. They include items like a joystick and a pad to replace a mouse. Microsoft says businesses can now purchase these items to help their workforce succeed.
"These products make all the difference for people who have difficulty using a traditional mouse and keyboard," Gaskill said. "They're created to match the beautiful design of surface products and empower every employee to be productive and efficient in a way that works best for them."
The company also launched its Surface Pro Keyboard with a bold keyset. It has a bolder font and a brighter backlight plate, which is intended to make it easier to read and cut down on eye strain.
CoPilot, Microsoft's AI-powered assistant, also has accessibility features to help Windows 11 users, the company said. Those features include an easy-to-turn-on narrator function, live captions, and an easy way to change the size of text.
