Accessibility Improvements for Screen Reader Users

The team has been working on a bunch of accessibility improvements, and we're excited to share what we’ve shipped so far.

We’ve improved screen reader support across the web app. That includes updating button labels, ARIA attributes, and keyboard navigation across several key areas of Sudowrite. If you use a screen reader like NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver, you should notice a much smoother experience when navigating key areas, including:

  • Projects Page - Screen readers now properly announce project names, folders, and actions, making navigation clearer and more predictable.

  • Main Menu Bar - We’ve given all menu items and navigation buttons descriptive labels, so screen readers can identify every control.

  • Left Sidebar - We've fully labeled chapter lists, document navigation, and sidebar controls, and you can now navigate them entirely by keyboard.

More is on the way! We're still working on the same improvements for the Editor, Story Bible, Right Sidebar, and Plugins page. We hope to wrap those up and roll them out soon.

You’ve been asking for these improvements for a while, and we're committed to making Sudowrite work great for every writer. If you use assistive technology and run into anything that doesn't work as expected, please reach out—your feedback directly shapes this work.
