Unlocking the Power of Ideas for Everyone!
A Step Towards Inclusivity
We are thrilled to announce our efforts in making the TED iOS app more accessible and inclusive for all users. At TED, we firmly believe that ideas have the power to change lives, and it is our responsibility to ensure that everyone can access these transformative insights.
Bridging the Gap with Enhanced Features
In order to bridge accessibility gaps, we have introduced several new features in our latest update. These enhancements include improved voiceover support, optimized color contrast for visually impaired users, and enhanced navigation options for individuals with motor disabilities.
By enhancing voiceover support, we aim to provide a seamless experience for blind or low-vision users. Now they can effortlessly navigate through talks and explore related content using their preferred screen reader software.
To cater to visually impaired users, we have meticulously fine-tuned color contrasts throughout the app. This ensures that text is easily readable against various background colors and provides an enjoyable reading experience without straining one’s eyesight.
We understand that motor disabilities should never be barriers when accessing knowledge. Therefore, we have revamped our navigation options by introducing gesture-based controls alongside traditional touch interactions. This empowers individuals with limited dexterity or mobility challenges to effortlessly browse through talks and engage with inspiring ideas.
Promoting Universal Access
Our commitment towards inclusivity extends beyond just technical improvements; it also involves fostering a community where diverse voices are heard loud and clear. We actively encourage speakers from different backgrounds who bring unique perspectives on life-changing topics.
In conclusion, at TED, accessibility is not an afterthought but an integral part of our mission. We are dedicated to ensuring that the TED iOS app is a platform where everyone, regardless of their abilities or background, can engage with ideas that have the power to shape our world.
