Welcome to another episode of AccessWorld, a podcast on digital inclusion and accessibility. In this month’s episode, Aaron offers an overview of the ViewPoint app for navigating inaccessible content. They also break down their frustrations with accessible solutions for hotel elevators, questioning how reasonable existing accommodations are for travelers who have their patience tested whenever confronted with the wide range of solutions for touchscreen displays. Aaron dives into some of his recent blog posts around the major OS developer events, and Tony gives a shout out to AFB’s Public Policy and Research Institute’s new AI survey for users with and without disabilities.
AccessWorld is a production of the American Foundation for the Blind. The podcast is an extension of AccessWorld magazine, a quarterly online publication published by AFB and now celebrating its 25th anniversary.
