Accessibility of a software is an important factor for its usability and user experience. Accessibility features ensure that all users, regardless of any disability or impairment, are able to access and use a software product. This chapter explains the accessibility features that are included in MAXQDA.
Keyboard Accessibility
Keyboard accessibility in MAXQDA allows users to interact with MAXQDA using only their keyboard. Please reference the "Keyboard Shortcuts" to learn about MAXQDA's main shortcuts
Screen Reader Compatibility
Screen readers can assist users with visual impairments to access and use MAXQDA by reading out the text on the screen. Third-party screen reader software, such as NVDA or JAWS, can be adjusted to read out the menu functions and the texts analyzed. Please refer to your screen reader’s documentation for further instructions.
Color Contrast
MAXQDA offers a high color contrast dark mode to improve readability of the interface for users with visual impairments.
