Accessibility Standards
Learn about the standards for low-vision users and deaf or hearing impaired users that Salesforce follows to design applications with accessibility in mind.
Required Editions
| Available in: Lightning Experience |
| Available in: all editions except Database.com |
Salesforce is committed to providing on-demand enterprise applications accessible to all individuals, including users working with assistive devices, such as speech recognition software and screen readers.
- Reporting detailed information in tables that use the data type, grid
- Accurately reading the menu items in a dropdown list
- Focus management
We recommend that you use Lightning Experience on a desktop when using a screen reader.
To help meet our goal of universal design, Lightning Experience follows the internationally recognized best practices in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA to the extent possible. Find Product Accessibility Conformance Reports for specific Salesforce products on our Product Accessibility Status page.

Low-Vision Users Who Require Magnification
Salesforce supports standard OS-level, browser, and third-party magnification tools. Adjust the zoom setting to suit your needs.
Considerations for List Views and Related Lists
Salesforce displays records in tables called list views and related lists. When zoomed in to 200%, some column text can be truncated in list views and related lists, even if column text is wrapped.
Deaf or Hearing Impaired Users
Salesforce provides captions for videos found in product documentation. Our products aim to not use sounds as the only means of communication.
