"The built-in accessibility features are robust, particularly in focus order, landmarks, and headings. Additionally, the system design minimizes the likelihood of users adding text on images or choosing poor color contrasts. I also appreciate how the system is programmed to selectively read or ignore certain items with a screen reader, enhancing the overall user experience.”
