Let's create accessible Google docs and slides!

Grackle Docs also has a separate add-on called Grackle Slides. Grackle Slides can be utilized in Google Slides and will give you a full idea of what needs to be fixed to make it Google. It is very similar to Grackle Docs, but it goes over things that are specific to slides.
