Microsoft says Windows 11 is the most inclusively designed version of Windows

Windows Voice Typing is also available for multiple sets of users like people with severe arthritis, repetitive stress injuries, cerebral palsy and other mobility-related disabilities. Voice Typing uses artificial intelligence to recognize speech, transcribe and automatically punctuate the text.

Late last month, Microsoft announced Windows 11, the latest version of its widely-used desktop operating system. The company says that it is the most inclusively designed version of Windows and to make it accessible at availability, the DHS's Trusted Center conformance tests, usability tests and other processes were employed.

"Accessible technology is a fundamental building block that can unlock opportunities in every part of society. Accessibility was considered from the start, with inclusive design reviews of new and redesigned features," Microsoft wrote in a blog post on Thursday.

For people with disabilities, Windows 11 offers assistive technologies like Narrator, Magnifier, Closed Captions and Windows Speech Recognition. People with light sensitivity and people working for extended periods of time can enjoy beautiful color themes, including new Dark themes and reimagined High Contrast Themes while the redesigned Closed Caption themes are easier to read and customize.

Windows Voice Typing is also available for multiple sets of users like people with severe arthritis, repetitive stress injuries, cerebral palsy and other mobility-related disabilities. Voice Typing uses artificial intelligence to recognize speech, transcribe and automatically punctuate the text.

Microsoft has also rebranded "Ease of Access" Settings to "Accessibility" along with a new human icon. The rebranding will make it easier to find and use accessibility features.

The company, in partnership with industry leaders, has also developed a modern accessibility platform that enables more responsive experiences and more agile development, including access to application data without requiring changes to Windows.

Currently, an early preview of Windows 11 is available to Windows Insiders and it will start to be generally available later this year.
