“…Some applications require manual login in order to open, actions such as adding new contacts require permissions that must be manually granted. It has been reported that Siri has problems processing long dictations [9]. On the other hand, the results of a study showed that 90% of people with blind and low vision use dictation on their smartphones, but people with low vision were more satisfied using dictation than those with blindness [4].…”

In this paper, we analyze the physical characteristics of a user with both visual and motor impairment, as well as the user’s context of smartphone use. In order to facilitate navigation using gestures that are easy to do by users with motor and visual impairment, we designed two hardware solutions as physical switches: a case mounted on the phone, and an electronic bracelet. We present the low fidelity prototype of both devices, the proposed user gestures, and their advantages and disadvantages.

“…Lastly, there is one example of a smartphone-based application that had a positive impact on women's empowerment and mobility in Kampala [55]. Studies with persons with disabilities outside of Kampala and Kigali have explored the efectiveness of interaction techniques [24] as well as the appropriateness of assistive technologies [49,[64][65][66][67]. We have also seen one example of the impact of ride-share services among persons with visual impairments in India.…”

Smart technologies have recently come under scrutiny for automating inequality. Given the current push towards developing and implementing smart cities policies that afect transportation systems in places like Kampala and Kigali, it is important to examine how the diferent modes of transportation meet the needs of diverse passengers and identify opportunities for technology to address any inequities. Prior studies have focused on the impact of informal public transportation on government policy and examined drivers' perspectives, but they largely overlooked the experiences of passengers and other industry stakeholders. In this study, we conducted interviews and surveys with public transportation riders with diferent disabilities as well as other stakeholders, including transport and fnancial technology creators. Our fndings illuminate inequities in the transportation system surrounding discrimination and harassment, infuence of ability on preferred transportation modes despite inaccessible interfaces, and infuence of perceived social hierarchical structures on innovation. We present insights into how passengers appropriate technology to overcome challenges, and we uncover opportunities for technology to fll additional gaps. Lastly, we discuss how these fndings support emergent frameworks such as aspiration-based design, and we present potential envisioned futures of technology for informal public transportation.

“…The aim of accessibility is to enable people with one or more disabilities to access content on different devices. However, the needs of PwD accessing digital contents are not always well understood because the characteristics of each disability are not yet common knowledge [2]. People with perceptual disabilities such as visual and hearing have an impairment that affects written and/or oral communication with people who do not have the same impairment.…”

INTRODUCTION: Characteristics of different disabilities using digital technologies are presented. Web content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are explained according to their principles and how each offers alternatives for the limitations of people with disabilities and the conformance levels A, AA, AAA. OBJECTIVES: Perform an automatic evaluation of two digital educational platforms for students to validate the conformance with WCAG in the three levels. METHODS: Techniques derived from automatic checker assessment were used to complete this research. RESULTS: Results showed that to fix the accessibility issues level A, the technical difficulty is low. Likewise, the investment of time and money is not as significant compared to the benefits that it represents. CONCLUSION: Adopting the use of these automatic evaluation tools, developers will incorporate good accessibility practices as part of their experience.
