Accessibility : Introduction


Accessibility , feature is not only related to mobile platform  , but related to web as well .

While designing and creating the application / games , we generally focus to a larger part of audience , and with that part we should not forget that audience who may have some sort of disabilities . According to the WHO (World Health  Organisation) 15% of the world’s population, roughly one billion people, experience some form of disability affecting hearing, visual, cognitive, and motor functions. This can impact the way these users interact with technology, and it’s important to us at Google Play and Android that the apps/games should be usable by these audience as well.

Mobile Accessibility can be used by following type of users like:


  • Users, having permanent disability
  • Users, having temporary disability
  • Old aged people


There are many guidelines 📝, tools ⚙️ , features ✅which are available at Google Play which are used to provide the facility to make the application accessible to every user.

In accessibility , there are many features like : text to speech , gesture navigation , directional pad navigation , Braille display, Screen Magnifier which can be used to ease the users experience having some type of disability .
