Accessibility/Blind people
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
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
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
