A
  • Map and geolocation applications on mobile devices can announce the names and descriptions of buildings and other location-related information.

Q

Solve for:
Small text can be hard to read.

A
  • Screen magnifiers can enlarge the items on the screen to make them easier to read.
    Utilities to enhance contrast, change colors, or alter other aspects of visual appearance can improve legibility.
  • Screen readers can supplement screen magnifiers by reading interfaces and content out loud to users through synthesized speech, but only if the digital information has been designed to be accessible.
  • Self-voicing interfaces (on ATMs, kiosks, transportation systems, etc.) and applications can communicate to users without the need for a screen reader, but these are appropriate mostly for broadcasting information, because they usually do not interact with the interface or content as screen readers do.
  • Alternative large print versions of small print text can make printed materials easier to read.
  • Alternative digital versions (web, mobile applications, etc.) of printed materials can give users the ability to read the materials using their own assistive technologies.
