Increase contrast.
So, here's a single feature, rather than putting color filters in place.
[SOUND] Reduce motion.
On the iPhone, whenever you open an app, it kind of slides into place.
And this can be very disconcerting, disorienting,
can even lead to motion sickness for
some users, particularly those with low vision.
It also eats battery life like crazy.
So, do yourself a favor, go in accessibility options and
[SOUND] turn off that reduce motion.
Your battery will thank you.
[SOUND] On/Off Labels, so
knowing that an item has been turned on or off.
I want a label that my screen reader voiceover can pick up on,
[SOUND] and then we get into the interaction.
[SOUND] Switch Control, so a mobility impairment,
they can't move their hand around.
So, they have maybe switches that they press or sip and
puff, which is a device that someone quadriplegic or
someone with extreme upper body mobility limitations.
They sip or suck in to produce one action and blow out or
puff to perform another action that can interface with the device.
[SOUND] Assistive touch, this is much like
sticky keys and being able to move things or
move two areas of the screen.
[SOUND] Touch accommodations.
I don't remember all that's in there, but again, explore.
Most of these items will either tell you what they do or
have pretty explanatory labels, so I'm not going to go.
I mean, we'd be here a while to go through all of these.
[SOUND] I have Accessibility Shortcut set to VoiceOver.
What that means is that my Home button,
I can press three times quickly to turn on or off.
This voiceover screen reader,
you could have it set to any of these accessibility features.
Zoom, assistive touch,
hearing assistance, all kinds of things.
So, lots of possibilities there, lots that can make the iPhone interface much
more enjoyable, if not more usable for the average user.
So invite you to explore that.
Again, if you're going to turn on voiceover,
be aware that the gestures do change, that it requires a double-tap.
Just moving, [SOUND] moving,
touching an item doesn't activate it, reads it.
I can swipe left to move active item at a time.
And again, I've got that router.
I can change the speaking rate, I've got mine pretty fast.
[SOUND] I can change the language, if you like a British.
[SOUND] So there's lots of fun you
can have with it, besides being
an important or key feature for
those individuals with disabilities.
>> And of course, a key message here is, with all of this here,
it makes your life much easier as a developer.
Just don't get in the way, and let these features do what they do.
Why don't we come back to the laptop here and
I'm going to show you the comparable settings in the Windows world.
This is their ease of access control panel and
you'll notice that many of this are similar things.
There's narrator which is a screen reader.
You can choose a voice, a speed, a pitch and what you want to hear,
is it words you're typing, characters you're typing and so forth.
The main thing we're going to get to here is that while some things are quite
similar, like a magnifier and what you're doing with the colors on it.
And do you want your magnifier to follow the keyboard.
Some of them are very different because of the keyboard interaction and
the mouse interaction.
And so, I'm going to skip through things like all of the different context options.
We do have a whole bunch of settings for closed captions, but
then you get keyboard settings.
Do you want the on-screen keyboard so that you don't type on this keyboard but
you use you're pointing device, whatever that is, to point to letters on screen?
Sticky keys, so that you don't have press two keys at the same time.
Toggle keys, which is hearing when you put a lock
on because you might not have been able to see that lock.
And do you want to ignore or do things to filter out repeated key
strokes that might be a result of a poorly controlled motion.
And there's a whole bunch of other examples there,
including things like how you see keyboard shortcuts.
There's a whole set of examples for the mouse as well.
The ones that are here or about the size of the pointer and the color but also
the ability to use your numeric keypad to move the mouse around the screen.
This is something that is a real life saver for
somebody who doesn't have the dexterity to use a mouse or
a track pad, which can be rather challenging.
There's lots of other options as well, not just here, but under the direct controls.
So when you're controlling a mouse, you can control how much do you have to move
it for it to move a certain amount on the screen.
If you have difficulty with precise pointing, you might decide, okay,
I'm willing to move the mouse a lot further, so
that when I move it a little bit, it doesn't actually move anything on screen.
There's a whole bunch of examples like that.
So, the point we have by looking at these two,
it's not that there aren't a whole bunch others.
There're accessibility settings if you go to Android, if you got to Windows phone,
if you go to Mac OS, if you go to any standard platform today.
But taking a little time to explore some of those settings
will give you a feel as to what the experience is like for
somebody who doesn't interact with these devices in the same way.
And at the same time may give you some features that you find out
make your life easier for you, as you interact with these devices.
Really driving home the idea that this is universal design.
