TechSmith is committed to providing inclusive digital experiences for people with disabilities by creating accessible products. This page provides guidance on how to use Camtasia with a screen reader, navigating with a keyboard, and more.
For more information on Camtasia’s accessibility conformance and exceptions to the information on this page, refer to the most recent Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT).
Interactive elements such as buttons and links in Camtasia include alt text for screen reader access.
Camtasia can be navigated using the Tab (forward) and Shift+Tab (backward) buttons as well as the arrow keys. As you navigate, items will also have visible focus showing where in the interface you are currently located. Keyboard navigation for editing functions is currently a work in progress, so you may run into challenges editing your projects using a keyboard.
Camtasia provides hotkeys you can use to make navigation and editing easier, and you can also assign your own preset shortcuts for certain functions. For a complete list of shortcuts, refer to the Camtasia Shortcuts guide, and for information on how to set your own shortcuts refer to the Customize Shortcuts tutorial.
