Accessibility in OneNote
For our final installment in the “Accessibility in Office Applications” blog series – OneNote!
Accessible Best Practices in OneNote
Now, because OneNote is essentially a digital binder full of Word Documents, Accessible Best Practices in OneNote are pretty much the same as those in Word.
There are however two slight additions:
Headers
If you are adding headers into your OneNote page, ensure you are using the built-in heading styles (as discussed with Word). But with OneNote, you also need to ensure you are uniquely naming your notebooks, sections, and pages!
Audio / Video Files
If you are adding an audio or video file into OneNote (for example: a YouTube video), it’s best to ensure that you are choosing an accessible file from the start. A file that:
- Has subtitles / closed captions
- Has video descriptions
- (Ideally) has ASL-English language interpretation
