 Details

RCTC supports the use of widely adopted screen reader technologies, including NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access) for Windows and Apple VoiceOver for macOS and iOS devices. These tools enable individuals who are blind or have low vision to perceive and interact with digital content through synthesized speech output.

Our digital services are designed, developed, and tested to ensure compatibility with these assistive technologies, supporting effective navigation, content comprehension, and interaction across websites, web applications, and document formats.
