Can people who use a keyboard or a screen reader use my tour?
Last checked 29 October 2026
The player has a keyboard, names for a screen reader, a plain text version and a rule for reduced motion, but we have not tried a tour with a screen reader, and we make no claim that a tour meets an accessibility standard.
With the keyboard, Tab moves through the bars and the hotspots on screen, Enter or Space opens one, Esc closes a popup, and the arrow keys turn the view while the picture area has focus. Buttons, rooms and hotspots have names a screen reader can read; the names come from the room names, descriptions and hotspot titles you write, so fill them in.
The tour does not read its text aloud itself; a visitor's own screen reader can read the text version. The text version is a plain page with a section for each published room, at the tour's address with ?accessibility=true added. A button opens it for visitors: in the Design tab switch on Accessibility Mode under Icons in the bar in a bar's Icons tab. That button starts off for a new tour. For a visitor whose device asks for less motion, room changes are instant cuts and the tour does not turn by itself. Accessibility in a tour lists each part.
