[email protected] is a community for discussing digital accessibility, sharing techniques and best practices, and talking about accessibility experiences; both good and bad.
Digital accessibility is the practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, digital systems by people with disabilities. This involves designing and developing websites, mobile applications, software, hardware, and other digital platforms in a way that they can be used by individuals with a range of abilities, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.
Digital accessibility not only benefits those with disabilities but also enhances the overall user experience, making digital content more usable and understandable for all. In many jurisdictions, it's a legal requirement under disability discrimination laws.
Key components of digital accessibility include accessible website design, multimedia with features like captions or transcripts, properly formatted digital documents, and accessible software and apps. It also extends to hardware design.
Very insightful. I think I’ve seen a meter used in a fundraising website. It’s reasonable for “682 raised of 1000.”
As for precision, the battery icon on iOS looks like a meter and it also sounds like one - VoiceOver reads the battery percentage. The idea of “glanceability” doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing across media. I can look at the icon and think “yeah, that’ll last through the day” and read “81%” and still think “yeah, that’ll last through the day.”
