AirTable Accessibility
This page gathers the IT Subcommittee's resources and reviews of the accessibility of AirTable. This page will be updated as new information is available or further reviews are conducted.
Accessibility Overview
In general, AirTable is not accessible in the free version we tested. There are several barriers for anyone using Assistive Technologies, especially screen readers. It's a visually-heavy website that can be cognitively complex. We tested the backend of a free version to create a database, as well as some of the outputs of AirTable.
