# Captivate and accessibility

You can create Captivate content that is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, using the accessibility features provided with Captivate. As you design accessible Captivate movies, consider how your users will interact with the content. Visually impaired users, for example, might rely on assistive technology, such as screen readers that provide an audio version of screen content, while hearing-impaired users might read text and captions in the document. Other considerations arise for users with mobility or cognitive impairments.

For visually impaired users, including those with color blindness, keep in mind the following design recommendations:

- Provide captions for narrative audio. Be aware of audio in your Captivate projects that might interfere with a user being able to listen to the screen reader.

- Ensure that color is not the only means of conveying information. In addition, make sure that foreground and background contrast sufficiently to make text readable for people with low vision and color blindness.

- For users with either visual or mobility impairment, ensure that controls are device independent or accessible by keyboard).

- For hearing impaired users, you can caption audio content.

- Users with cognitive impairments often respond best to uncluttered design that is easily navigable.
