Hello accessibility community!

Today we updated the Canvas supported Screen Reader and Browser combinations to include NVDA and JAWS with Chrome in Windows, in addition to the current support for Firefox in Windows. You can find that update in the guide to Canvas accessibility standards

Canvas is designed so that screen reader users can confidently utilize their preferred screen reader and browser. However, the variety of browser and screen reader combinations means that only the listed combinations are tested and confirmed to work well in Canvas.

We hope that this update gives even greater confidence to screen reader users who prefer Chrome as their browser!
