There was a time when Accessibility in software was more commonly labeled as a ‘hidden feature’ or a ‘hack’ to speed certain methods up, such as Voice Control in iOS 13 or Back Tap in iOS 14.
The world has (thankfully) moved on from this, and we’re now seeing real benefits in how accessibility can be used for the greater good. Indeed, both Apple and Microsoft should be given high praise for how accessibility is being thought of with almost every new feature we see. For instance, the redesigned theme that came with Windows 11 in 2021, allowed for bigger fonts and inverted colors to work much better for visually impaired users.
