Request types
What are requests?
Requests on Fable connect you with assistive technology users who can help you accomplish your accessibility goals.
This article explains the different ways you can engage with assistive technology users through requests on the Fable platform.
No matter where you are in your product lifecycle, Fable has a request type that can connect you with an assistive technology user.
Fable offers two types of requests:
- Moderated requests
- Unmoderated requests
Moderated requests let you meet with a tester on Zoom. Unmoderated requests let you check the accessibility of a digital product without facilitating a live session.
