Making Technology Accessible to All

Education

In Disability Awareness Month, we spoke with Lisa Berghoff, an experienced special education teacher, about how technology impacts students with disabilities in classrooms.

Accessibility

We have always worked to ease the navigation process in the digital world for people with disabilities. Today, we also want to help individuals access the information and services they need.

Maps

Voice guidance in Google Maps, designed for visually impaired individuals, helps everyone navigate with ease and comfort.

Accessibility

The Action Blocks app is a new application that helps users with cognitive disabilities simplify daily tasks on Android devices.

Using AI to Assist the Blind

Google helps blind individuals browse the web by adding image descriptions using automated image technology in Chrome browser.

Android

If it has a voice, it can now include written captions; Live Caption was launched on the Pixel 4, and there are plans to support more devices and languages in the near future.

Making Support Available

How Inclusive Design Helps

The new guidelines assist developers and designers in avoiding mistakes that make websites and applications unusable for visually impaired individuals.
