Almost one in five of the world's population lives with some kind of recognized disability. Sooner or later, everyone will develop at least some limitations in vision, hearing, dexterity or learning. To improve usability for those of us with sensory or physical limitations, phones have features for accessibility, which are continually improving and becoming more prevalent as technologies advance.
The Global Accessibility Reporting Initiative (GARI) project was developed to provide a central information source to learn about accessibility in mobile devices. On this website you can learn about the various features that a phone may have and link through to manufacturers websites for specific information on particular models. As part of the GARI project all phones released by participating manufacturers after the 1 October 2008 will have a GARI template available for them providing specific information on the accessibility features that a particular model offers. A sample of this template is available here. This website is designed to complement this template by explaining some of those features in more detail and to help learn how to use them. |
