Objectifs :
The objective of this video is to educate viewers on how to create accessible emails for individuals who use screen readers, ensuring that email content is formatted correctly and is easy to read for everyone.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Email Accessibility
Every day, thousands of people send and receive emails, and many rely on screen readers to access this information. It is crucial to ensure that emails are accessible to all users, including those who utilize screen reading technology. -
Using HTML Format for Emails
To enhance accessibility, emails should be formatted using HTML rather than plain text. HTML allows for the inclusion of links, text lists, and alternative text for images, making the content more interactive and informative. When composing a new message, ensure that the HTML option is selected in the format text tab. -
Setting Default Email Format
To set HTML as the default format for your emails, navigate to the options menu, then to mail settings. Here, you can select the format for composing messages, ensuring that all outgoing emails are accessible from the start. -
Choosing Accessible Fonts
When formatting your text, use simple Arial fonts that are larger than 12 points. Select colors that contrast well with the background to enhance readability. To make important text stand out, combine various features such as color, size, and bolding. This is particularly important for individuals with color blindness, as relying solely on color may not effectively communicate differences. -
Setting Default Fonts and Themes
You can set a default font for all your emails by going to options, then mail, and selecting stationary and fonts. Here, you can establish the default font for new messages as well as for replies and forwards. Additionally, choose an accessible theme or background that features high color contrast and avoids background lines or images that could hinder readability. -
Conclusion
In summary, creating accessible emails involves using HTML formatting, selecting appropriate fonts and colors, and setting default options that enhance readability. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your emails are accessible to all users, including those who rely on screen readers.
