<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Sharon,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
We are evaluating accessibility of some Tableau visualizations currently with one of our departments. We’d be happy to share some information. We’re meeting with a developer in our IT department who works on Tableau and can follow up with information after
that.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">The last discussion I can find in the ATHEN archives is from 2015. My understanding is that the latest version of Tableau implemented some significant accessibility improvements.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have recommendations for creating accessible visualizations with Tableau? I’ve found significant issues with screen reader access when trying to read data visualizations. Even though the data points appear in text on mouseover,
they don’t seem to be available to the screen reader.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have experience with Narratives for Tableau (<a href="https://narrativescience.com/Partners/Business-Intelligence/Tableau">https://narrativescience.com/Partners/Business-Intelligence/Tableau</a>) which claims to create automated
explanations of the visualizations?<o:p></o:p></p>
