## AI overview

Figma announces official screen reader support for FigJam after a beta period. The update enables screen reader and keyboard-only users to navigate the canvas, menus, and screens while creating, editing, and reading file structures, text shapes, stickies, tables, and image alt text. Some features, including cursor chat, voting, widgets, and freeform vector nodes, are not yet supported.
