Here’s a list of all the changes coming to your Chromebook with ChromeOS 127 rolling out now

ChromeOS 127 is rolling out now to Chromebooks, introducing a number of small but important changes aimed at improving accessibility options and delivering a productivity boost. While it may not be the most flashy update, it’s always good to see a company continually upgrading its accessibility options.

Below we’ve listed the most interesting changes coming to your Chromebook in the coming weeks.

We’ll start with one of our favorite upgrades in ChromeOS 127, improved PDF accessibility in the Chromebook Gallery app. This comes courtesy of an AI-powered Optical Character Recognition (OCR) reader that makes PDFs more accessible for low-vision or blind users. Essentially, this feature organizes the PDF in a smart way to make it easier for users to understand via ChromeVox, the built-in screen reader for Chromebooks.

You’ll also notice a new feature called Read Aloud in Chrome’s Reader Mode. As the name suggests, this feature will read content out loud to the user in the web browser. This is helpful for users with visual impairments and those who need help understanding long articles.
