Accessibility Enhancements

We just made some changes that will dramatically improve the Sudowrite user experience for folks using screen readers.

For starters, we've improved or added screen reader labels for:

Home page

  • Settings menu
  • Help menu
  • Credit symbol in Recent Activity
  • Create New Project
  • Story Bible, Canvas, and Project Action icons on the Project card

Editor

  • Write, Rewrite, and Describe dropdowns
  • Create New Document and Import
  • History card actions: Like, Dislike, Add to Favorites
  • Collapse icons for the left bar, right bar, and top menu
  • Recent and Favorites in the History (Right) Bar
  • Copy to Clipboard and History in Story Bible

Additionally, projects on the Project list are now labeled as projects, and include a title at the top level. Several redundant icons have also been hidden from screen readers to reduce the amount of non-interactive elements and streamline the experience.
