<div dir="ltr">Just to insert my two cents here: We have Mind View
and the interface is not the most accessible. It's nice if it
can export to these formats, but I'm not sure if I could even
get to the controls as a screen reader user to perform this
action. Is there anyone using Mind View with a screen reader
who would be able to provide tips? The main challenge I have is
teaching this software to our students; currently I just send
them YouTube videos, but it would be so much better if I were
able to instruct students on this program. I understand that
the very nature of mind mapping is not accessible to blind
people, but these manufacturers could at least make sure that
their interfaces are accessible, same goes for literacy programs
like Read and Write. They claim to utilize universal design,
but when I can't even navigate the interface it doesn't feel all
that universal to me.

<div dir="auto">Most mind mapping programs export to a rtf or
docx type file format. Then you can check the main idea and
secondary ideas are available as headings and subheadings.
Images will need context and explanations. MindView allows
for HTML export and makes a webpage of the content at
various levels. All these options are basically list views
rather than diagrams although with MindView in MSWord you
can have the map as an image as well as the outline.

<div>I know about several other programs offer similar
settings such as Inspiration, ClaroView, Xmind, MindGenius
etc etc <br>

<div>I have a faculty member who uses a lot of

<div>Additionally, she teaches her students to
