Accessibility Support for FactoryTalk DataMosaix

This topic describes the accessibility feature in FactoryTalk DataMosaix.
People with visual impairments, or low vision can use FactoryTalk DataMosaix using any screen reader application or web browser extension with a text-to-speech output.  Using the screen reader extension or application, users can listen to and interact with the elements on the screen, such as UI labels, messages, and buttons.
