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

ChromeOS 127 is now rolling out to Chromebooks and introduces some minor but important changes that aim to improve accessibility options and deliver productivity boosts. While the update may not be the flashiest, it is always good to see a company continuously upgrade its accessibility options. 

So, ahead, we’ve listed the most interesting changes coming to your Chromebook at some point over the next few 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 OCR reader (Optical Character Recognition) that makes PDFs more accessible to low-vision or blind users. Essentially, this feature cleverly organizes the PDF 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 Reading mode. As the name suggests, this feature facilitates having content in the web browser read out to the user. This is helpful to visually impaired users and those who need help understanding long-form articles.
