Creating a Power BI report Using a Screen Reader

In my work at Microsoft, I work with a number of product teams on accessibility. One of the rewarding things about this is that I get to learn about a number of technologies and experiences. This is obviously accompanied by working to improve the accessibility and user experiences of these products.

I’ve been working with the Power BI team for close to a year and have learned a great deal about the technology. Creating a Power BI report using a screen reader is one of those things that having a few hints about how things work and such can save a lot of time learning what to do.

I put together this audio demo of the basics of creating a report, adding data to the report, understanding the visual layout of the report and how a few of the basic controls work. A transcript in text or Word is also available.

Microsoft has documentation on creating reports available. Accessibility information for creating reports and consuming them is also available. A help article on creating reports using assistive technology has also been created. You can also find various resources on the Power BI roadmap and other release plans.

If you have accessibility questions or concerns on Power BI, the Microsoft enterprise Disability Answer Desk is there to assist.
