Make Systems Modeling More Inclusive with Accessibility Features

October 3, 2023
Enterprise Architect v16.1 Build 1628 introduces a number of accessibility improvements, making it easier for users with visual impairments to use Enterprise Architect to model, design, and implement complex systems.

Enterprise Architect by Sparx Systems is a visual modeling platform that helps businesses and organizations model, design, and implement complex systems. It supports a wide range of modeling languages and techniques, including Unified Modeling Language (UML), Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), and Systems Modeling Language (SysML).

Enterprise Architect v16.1 Build 1628 includes a number of accessibility improvements for users with visual impairments, making it easier for developers to use Enterprise Architect to model, design, and implement their software systems.

One significant change is an update to dialogs which allows Windows Narrator to provide more accurate and intuitive feedback on controls. This makes it easier for developers to understand what is happening in a dialog and how to interact with it. Enterprise Architect also gains support for High Contrast themes in Microsoft Windows, including the new High Contrast (Auto) theme which allows the code editor auto-select a light or dark theme based on the Windows theme.

Sparx Systems is committed to making its software available to the widest possible audience. These new accessibility features help to make Enterprise Architect more usable than ever for users with visual impairments.
