Hi @Anonymous
I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community! ![]()
Are you looking for a specific tool within Revit- like a 'read aloud text'? or a device to support learning etc. Please let us know your requirements.
Thank you,

Hi, I would like to know what assistive technologies are embedded in Revit to help those students who struggle with information processing, recall and computational issues. Text to speech would be helpful, but what happens is you cannot recall what layers you put drawing information on for instance? or you cannot remember where you stored data? I am a lecturer on two architectural programmes and we use a suite of Autodesk programmes.
Hi @Anonymous
As far as features embedded within Revit, regarding information processing and tool recall, we do not have any of those available currently.
However, Third-party products* for assistive technology for Vision, Dexterity, learning, and communication like screen readers, magnifiers, and specialty accessibility hardware are available for use.
If this is for some other type of specific request that doesn't exist today with the product, you may submit your request through our IdeaStation.
The product team will review this request and take it into consideration for further development.
Please see document - 'Autodesk Revit 2018 VPAT .pdf'
This is a Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) that details the accessibility features of Autodesk products and help government customers determine their own compliance.
Please mark this response as "Accept as Solution" if it answers your question. Kudos gladly accepted.
*I have provided a link to an application or add-in that MIGHT provide the extra functionality for which you are looking. Please note, however, this is not an Autodesk product or endorsement. You should take all precautions whenever you elect to download/install/utilize any application and do so at your own risk. Please review the developer’s documentation and disclaimers before proceeding to utilize their product(s).

Well, when you type, Revit doesn't put the letters in backwards. I'd call that assistive technology I guess. Otherwise, I don't think there is any.
But with Revit, there are no "layers" for drawing information to get lost on.
All project information/data is stored in specific parts of the underlying database, and is retrievable the same way every time. For example, managing Revisions/Issues is done in the same place every time.
User controlled settings and defaults can be set up into templates so that they can be made consistent every time a user begins a project. For example, default view templates, sheet sizes and title blocks, and project settings such as line styles and even parameters, can all be standardized into a template.
I don't suffer the symptoms you mention, and so may not understand the difficulties faced, but I can't help think that the parametric nature of Revit - and therefore the almost "forced" consistent organizational structure of it - has got to be at least slightly friendlier in this regard than something like basic Autocad.
Revit is a very big learning curve, but once you DO learn it, the repeatability that is inherent within it has got to be helpful, right?
