People with disabilities use a range of assistive technologies and accessible design features to access and navigate the internet. For example:
Blind users often rely on screen readers, which convert text into speech or Braille.
People with low vision depend on screen magnifiers, high-contrast modes, or zoom features.
Deaf or hard-of-hearing users depend on captions, transcripts, and visual indicators.
People with motor impairments might navigate using only a keyboard, switch devices, or voice commands instead of a mouse.
Users with cognitive or learning disabilities benefit from clear layouts, simple language, and consistent navigation.
Accessible websites are designed to support these tools and needs, making the internet usable for everyone.
