Project Jupyter Accessibility Working Group¶
Welcome to the Github repository for the accessibility working group of Project Jupyter. This group is being formed in early 2019. Its goal is to gather stakeholders who can actively work with the project to make Jupyter’s core user-facing software accessible. In particular, the initial targets are:
To be clear, as of March 2019 this software is not accessible. Significant work will be required to reach that goal.
If you are trying to use Jupyter tools with assistive technology now, you may be able to get basic support with the following:
Jupyter Notebook a11y toolbar (from Microsoft research)
Make cells editable with a screen reader using the NVDA Browser Nav add-on
