Supporting accessibility at CSUN
March 15, 2011
This week we’ll be at the 26th annual
CSUN International Technology & Persons with Disabilities Conference
to talk with users and accessibility experts about how to make our products more accessible to people with disabilities. We’ll also give a
talk
on the current state of accessibility for our products.
We’ve been working in this space for a while, launching features such as
captions
on YouTube, applications such as
WalkyTalky
and
Intersection Explorer
on Android (so people can use Google Maps eyes-free) and building easy-to-navigate, accessible
Google search
pages to work smoothly with adaptive technologies.
We have more to do. At CSUN 2011, we’re looking forward to more insights about how to make Android, Chrome and Google Apps better enabled for people who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers. If you’re attending and are interested in participating in our focus groups there, please fill out our
survey
by 9pm PST today, Tuesday, March 15.
To see an overview of the accessibility features of our products today, visit
google.com/accessibility
. We're launching an updated version of this site later today to make it easier for visitors to find information on using our products, and for developers and publishers to learn how to develop accessible products on our platforms. While you’re there, please give us
feedback
on what we can do better to make our products more accessible.
