QuickPoint

A presentation about how this presentation works

Every element on these slides is doing double duty: it shows you a QuickPoint feature, and it explains what a screen reader, a keyboard, or a captioned player receives at the same moment.

Turn on your screen reader and follow along — this deck was built to be heard.

Real structure, not styled text

Headings here are real HTML headings. Screen readers can list them, jump between them, and announce their level.

Lists are real lists too:

• Bullets announce as one list with a known count
• Nested points sit inside a genuinely nested list
• No repeated "list, one item" — one list, three items

What happens when you turn a page

• The new slide is announced — "Slide 3 of 13"
• A polite live region does this without interrupting you
• Focus lands on the slide's first heading
• The previous slide vanishes from the reading order entirely
• Your reading commands take over from there

Navigate like any deck you know

Arrow keys, Space and Shift+Space, Page Up and Page Down, Home and End — the same keys as every mainstream presentation tool.

Press ? at any time for the shortcut card. The gear button, bottom right, opens reading preferences: fonts, spacing, a reading ruler, and a neurodivergent reading mode.

That is a real button with a real name — not a styled div.

Images carry their descriptions

The alt text travels with the image file, so every deck that reuses it stays described. A screen reader hears the full description; the caption is associated with the figure.

Charts you can hear

A screen reader gets the summary sentence first — every value, in one breath. The full data table is one keypress away behind "See chart data", for everyone, on screen.

No competitor's export gives a screen reader the numbers at all.

Tables that announce their headers

columnTitle: River

columnTitle: Length (km)

columnTitle: Mouth

Niger

4180

Gulf of Guinea

Senegal

1790

Atlantic

Volta

1500

Gulf of Guinea

Move through the cells: each value is announced with its column header — "Length, 1,790" — because the grid carries real table semantics.

Text over images stays readable

The shadow behind this text exists for exactly one job: contrast over a busy image.

And splits read in order

The left half reads completely before this half begins. Layout never scrambles the story.

Video, with captions

The W3C's own film about captions — captioned. Videos keep their platform's caption support, and the player is named for assistive tech.

Sound and place, described

A gentle two-note chime, rising, then fading — that sentence is the transcript, right here in the reading order.

The map is written as a place name in the source, and announces itself as "Map: Niger Delta, Nigeria".

Reveals wait for the reader

Progressive reveals are reader-paced — nothing moves until you ask it to.

This sentence was hidden until you advanced. Auto-play exists in QuickPoint, but decks default to reader control — timed content is a barrier, so we treat it as the exception.

That's the whole surface

Assess us

Everything you just read — headings, lists, tables, chart data, alt text, captions, transcripts, keyboard, focus, announcements — is the default output of QuickPoint. No remediation pass, no accessible-export switch.
