We tested Perusall a while back and found that it did not work well with screen readers and left out a lot of information.

Yeah, I am struggling to use it with a screen reader as well. I think the problem is the screen reader does not know it is a web application and thus is unable to read when you highlight text.

Hi all,

I’m wondering if anyone has experience they’d be willing to share with Perusall, particularly with it being integrated into Canvas. I’ve seen their accessibility statements and such, but was looking for real-world feedback to speak to the accessibility.

Thanks,
