Editor's Notes
- Our mission, at Microsoft, is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. We announced this new mission a couple of years ago. It’s a mission that connects back to our earliest days as a company, but is aimed directly at the opportunities and challenges that the world will face in the decades to come. And it’s only attainable if everyone has access and opportunity to achieve more…
- When we talk about empowering people we simply mean that with the right tools, anyone can do anything. That’s everyone. In every context.
- Over a billion people live with disabilities. Their exclusion harms all of us. Computers and the internet provide opportunities and access to services, education and jobs for people with disabilities. But a recent report by The World Bank found that they are still significantly more likely to experience poverty. The unemployment rate for people with disabilities is more than twice the average. This population represents an enormous untapped talent pool at a time when we are all in need of great talent. The challenges are real and the opportunity is large.
- Let’s look at how we think about disability. For most of the 20th century, disability was defined as the result of an individual’s condition - the problem was with the person. But disability happens at the points of interaction between a person and their environment. Physical, cognitive and social exclusion are the result of a mismatch between what a person wants to achieve, and an environment that does not support it. This definition, first adopted by the World Health Organization, presents a solvable design, business and social problem. It’s a problem we’ve taken on at Microsoft because it stands directly between us and our ability to achieve our mission.
- It is not always obvious when someone is living with a disability…
- The majority of disabilities are invisible. Chronic illness, cognitive or mobility issues, vision loss, and many others often give no visible indicators. In addition, we increasingly work and collaborate at a distance. We’re often talking to people on the phone, via video conference, or in text. We don’t always have insight into the context, whether disability is present, or even what technology is being used. But what we do know is that when we place people and context at the center of our design process, the benefits multiply. For example…
- In the US alone, 26,000 people a year suffer loss of upper extremities
- 13 million people suffer temporary impairments…
- …and 8 million experience situational exclusion because they are holding a child or a bag of groceries. Technology designed with the needs of someone who has one hand or arm, for example, has the potential to benefit everyone.
- Office Lens on iOS, allows users to take a photograph of printed text, in a textbook for example, and convert the printer text to digital content that they can view in an immersive reader with increased spacing and have that content read aloud. Learning Tools, which is in Word and OneNote on various endpoints helps people improve their reading skills, including gifted learners, students with learning differences. It's been shown to improve learning outcomes associated with: Comprehension Decoding Fluency Dictate, is a free add-in available for all Office apps, that users can install on their device, and use for speech-to-text. Read Aloud, is a feature that exists within Learning Tools and as a standalone feature in Word’s Review tab, which allows anyone to easily have their content read aloud to them. Editor is our enhanced set of proofing tools that helps people of all abilities to write easy-to-read documents, with more confidence. It does this by Reducing the energy spent on low-level processing like spelling To free up mental “desk space” for the higher-level cognitive tasks in writing (such a conceptual work, composition, structure)
- Some case studies: Our pupils all pretty much without exception hate writing. The learning tools transformed writing for our pupils.
- As you can see the teacher has scribed for him because writing is a tortuous task for him. It is pretty illegible and a very slow process. He then used the learning tools to actually write his story.
- This child was able to write this entirely independently, removing the embarrassment of having an adult looking over his shoulder. He could type and then use the immersive reader to read it back to himself. If he chose the wrong word from the spellcheck menu, he would realise his mistake when he had it read back to him again. His output increased dramatically. He said “Using OneNote has made me work quicker.” “No-one has to tell me when I have written something wrong. The computer does it by showing me or when I listen back using Immersive Reader.” It is very difficult to develop the higher thinking skills needed for creative writing if you can’t write your thoughts down.
- Fluency in transferring thoughts to written word is improved – pupils have found it easier to transfer thoughts to typing/computer Using Immersive Reader increased independent working so pupils were able to hear their own work whilst the words were highlighted Increased self-confidence with creative writing Immersive Reader was able to read their work to the rest of the class. This meant they could share work without being embarrassed about own reading skills. Understanding words helped my write stories. OneNote has given me confidence in writing. I like the talk back.” “It is easier to type that to write. It is less stressful than writing on paper.” “OneNote helps me to notice my spelling mistakes when it talks back and highlights the words at the same time.”
- Learning Tools is available across a wide variety of applications, as this table highlights.
- Editor aims to make Writing Issues more approachable, so more people can act on them to improve their writing. We hear from teachers that many (if not most) students actually ignore a lot of the squiggles in their documents today, either because they don’t know what the suggestions mean, or because they’re overwhelmed by the number of squiggles, and the thought of fixing them isn’t approachable. Educators* want tools that would enable students to: actually pay attention to the errors in their writing care about addressing the errors in their writing understanding HOW to improve their writing understand WHY their correction is better. Editor introduces Bite-sized explanations right in the context menu, to convey the Issue Category and explain how to fix it. This helps make unfamiliar checks more approachable, and serves to coach users over time. *K-12 Language Arts teacher interviews, 2016
- We’ve implemented a Trusted Tester program, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This program makes technology evaluations easier. In addition to training employees about accessibility, we require all contracted accessibility testers to be certified Trusted Testers. So far 300 testers have been trained – and that’s just for Office. We will be continuing to expand this program. These kinds of partnerships and scalable systemized processes, enable us to provide the latest conformance documentation for our products, saving our customers resources in the process, so they can make decisions with confidence and focus on what is best for their business, employees and customers.
