Google upgrades Chrome accessibility with image to text conversion for PDFs

For as many incredible things that our phones and computers can do, it’s easy to forget that not everyone’s able to interact with these systems in the same way. Google has thankfully been a trailblazer when it comes to accessibility, including making web content available to everyone. Chrome’s reading mode and PDF viewer are both part of this commitment, and can be invaluable to those with visual impairments. Now a new image-to-text feature in Chrome on ChromeOS will help screen readers work with PDFs, even when images lack alt-text descriptions.
