Accessibility and Usability

Facebook is accessible because a user can use a screen reader to iterate over each of the application's elements, nonetheless Facebook's interface has many objects, which decreases usability. It is too complex then, for a person to access Facebook using a screen reader.

How to make contents accessible?

  • Make sure you add metadata to the different elements you create when you are building an application.
  • When it comes to presentations the speaker shouldn't rely (too much) on visual content, he/she should strive to verbalize (as much as possible) the concepts described.

What applications is a blind person needing right now?

  • One that allow them to differentiate currency bills
  • One that allow them to differentiate clothes
