Accessibility is for everyone

Adding Captions in Canvas Studio

Canvas provides detailed instructions for how to create captions in Studio. CDLI is happy to help you with this as well. We also offer Canvas Studio workshops for hands-on support in editing auto-generated captions.

Mafil Fabroquez at CDLI created this guide to help you check your PowerPoints for accessibility.
