Description

Please also check if the following registry key is set to 0 - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\Blind Access\On.

This key indicates that a screen reader or other accessibility tool is active.

Does this mean that Adaptive Cards are not supported for users using screen readers?

(or only supported for those users, "check" is ambiguous!)
