Canvas PDFs -Student Accessibility Options WITHOUT "Student Annotation"
If the “Student Annotation” option is not available to students in a Canvas assignment, the PREVIEW application will permit good reading and writing PDF accessibility using the built-in Mac text-to-speech and dictation features. For read-only PDFs, text-to-speech can be used directly in the Canvas assignment (either Read&Write or built-in Mac features).
Download and open PDFs in the PREVIEW application first. Then use the text-to-speech accessibility feature Control R to read selected text aloud. Use the “Markup” feature to annotate using the keyboard or voice/dictation F5. When finished annotating the PDF make sure and save ( File -> Save) the annotations before uploading back to Canvas.
