Accessibility Controls for ASAP - Online Help | Zoho Desk

Accessibility Controls for ASAP

Users belong to diverse groups and have different needs and abilities that directly impact their work preferences. For example, users with dyslexia or auditory impairment may prefer less animated texts and screen reading ability. Applications that support such facilities reduce the accessibility challenges for users who have special needs. 

To enhance accessibility, Zoho Desk and Help Center already offers accessibility settings for agents. To provide a similar user experience, accessibility settings are also available in ASAP.

Accessibility settings in Help Center

The accessibility settings in the Help Center comprise of:
  1. Accessibility personas
  2. Display
  3. Font
  4. Contrast
  5. Highlights
  6. Cursor
  7. Reading tools

To access accessibility settings
  1. Navigate to the ASAP widget and select the Accessibility controls icon from the top-right corner.
  2. Under Accessibility Persona, select the desired persona.

Accessibility personas

Accessibility personas are a list of user personas who have specialized needs. Each persona has a set of unique requirements which are grouped together under features for convenience and to provide personalized experience.
