## AI overview

Figma announces a prototype screen reader beta designed to make prototyping more accessible to blind and low-vision users. The feature supports text notes, image alt text, prototype navigation, buttons, and keyboard actions. Figma converts prototypes into an HTML representation that screen readers can interpret, and the beta is intended to gather community feedback.
