Introduction
The term accessibility is misunderstood a lot and is usually used to describe a feature/option in Android settings which allow you to access hidden features in the operating system. In this article, we will be talking about accessibilities or accessibility.
What is Accessibility?
The term 'Accessibility' (non-technical) refers to the design of products and environments for people with disabilities. Example include wheelchairs, entryway ramps, hearing aids, and braille signs. In the IT world, accessibility often describes hardware or software options to help those who experience disabilities i.e. more features. Now we know, accessibility can be both, hardware and software.
Hardware Accessibilities
Accessibility hardware may refer to a custom computer system designed for a specific person or simply an accessory that helps an individual computer user. Let's try to learn using a few examples, A special keyboard with larger letters on the keys is a type of hardware accessibility. It can also include oversized mice and trackballs, and pillow switches that can activate with only a small amount of force. Usually, a gaming mouse comes with such hardware modifications with extra buttons for DPI switch, etc. These mice can be considered as hardware accessibility.
Software Accessibilities
Modern operating systems include standard accessibility options that can make them easier to use without the need for specialized hardware. For Example, windows and macOS both provide display modification options, such as magnification and inverting colors, which helps those with difficulty seeing.
How do I use these features?
Accessibilities options can be found in the following location for common operating systems:
- Windows: Settings → Ease of Access
- macOS: System Preferences → Accessibility
- iOS: Settings → General → Accessibility
- Android: Settings→ Accessibility
