Android - android devices offer many accessibility options, including access to bluetooth, ability to adjust the brightness, different font sizes, many different languages, speech-to-text and the talkback teacher to name a few.
Chromebook - as we've heard for quite some time, the Chromebook does not offer nearly as many accessibility options as other platforms. They do offer, though, alternate backgrounds, different touchpad & keypad series, incredibly limited language options, easy access to shared drive folders, large mouse feature, spoken feedback, along with others.
iPad - iPad's are by far the most universally designed device. Just a few of the options would be Siri, voice-to-text, incredible language options, ability to magnify text, mobile home buttons, voiceover options, adjustable brightness, along with many others.
MacBook - inverted colors, increase contrast, adjustable cursor size, zoom options from the keyboard, many voiceover options, captions, subtitles, sticky keys & keyboard sounds, along with many others.
PC - PC accessibility options are a little more tricky to find. You need to go into the control panel, followed by Ease of Access. When there, you can find some options such as: different mouse options, many keyboard options, speech recognition, audio descriptions.
Every platform has a select number of different accessibility options. Youtube is a great resource for finding out more information about them!
More and more I am learning to love the iPads. I was (and still am) a fan of Android devices,since that's what I use, but I agree that iPads are the most accessible and versatile option.
