What You Should Know

Panorama gives step-by-step recommendations and real-time guidance on how to correct issues with common file types, such as PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint slides, and digital images. While it provides diagnostics and suggestions, it does not replace human judgment. It acts as your accessibility assistant, while you control which fixes to prioritize and when.
