How? Accessible flowchart in PowerPoint using autoshapes, arrows?

[Jen Gagne]

I'm trying to build an accessible flowchart in PowerPoint using autoshapes
with text and arrow connectors. I have read the article about autoshape
Z-order, but I wonder if a screen reader will be able to follow the arrows
when given an option between two paths. Any advice appreciated!

Hi Jen,

A screen reader will simply read each object in order from back to front.
My recommendation is to create a text only version of your flowchart for
folks using a screen reader and provide a link to it.

If you want to stick with the PowerPoint only version, download PowerTalk so
you can "hear" how it's going to sound using a screen reader.
