Accessibility/Blind people: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:45, 4 November 2016

OpenFoodFacts is an opportunity to bring the blind at the same level of non-blind in terms of choosing food products. Few food products have Braille markings . How can I be sure of the product then?

Things to do on our side

ProductOpener (web)

Test and Make the web site accessible and compatible with accessibility systems
Use OCR when no data is available yet

Mobile apps

Make all the mobile versions speech enabled (already done for Android) and compatible with system-wide accessibility systems
generalize Moodstock recognition to all platforms because the blind can not easily find the barcode by themselves
Improve the Hololens app to make it a gateway to products for blind people (voice synthesis when scanning a barcode)

Community Outreach / Content

Communicate with the blind associations in all countries for feedback and to promote OpenFoodFacts
Mention products including Braille marking
Mention accessible brands

Existing Initiatives (France)
