It is nice to see they are looking at some accessibility by allowing Apple VoiceOver to discover the interface. But when will they address the barrier that no content coming out of Illustrator is accessible to any assistive technology? Was really hoping to connect with them last year after a very promising conversation with the Illustrator team. However, here we are just weeks away from MAX again and... well.... Anyway... If anyone knows how I can connect with someone to push this needle forward that would be super.
