Creating Better Pathways for All: Share Your Ideas in the Innovation Lab for Accessibility!

[Admin]

Hello Samsung Members,

We’re excited for sharing another topic of Innovation Lab and invite you to join us in shaping a more inclusive Galaxy experience! Your ideas and feedback have already made a significant impact on our community, and we’re eager to collaborate with you to make this even better.

This time, we’re focusing on Accessibility. Samsung provides accessibility features designed for various needs, including vision, hearing, mobility, and cognition.

Whether it’s enhancing existing features, introducing new tools, or improving the overall accessibility experience, your ideas matter.
Let’s work together to ensure Galaxy devices are accessible to everyone.

Here’s how you can participate:

1. Comment below with your idea or suggestion.
2. Include illustrations, diagrams, images, or any details that will help us better understand your concept.
3. Add #InnovationLab #Accessibility to your comment.

We’re eagerly looking forward to your comments. Please note that you can send in your entries till 31st July.

Together, we can make Galaxy devices more accessible for all!

Cheers,
Samsung Members Team

• The Need for an Indian Accessibility Team: While Samsung Korea and Samsung USA have dedicated accessibility teams, feedback from Indian users often remains unaddressed. A local team or representative is vital to bridge this gap.

• Timely Updates for Accessibility Tools like Samsung TalkBack: Frequent updates are critical for fixing bugs and ensuring user satisfaction.

• Development of an Independent Screen Reader: Relying solely on external teams (Google Accessibility Team) has delayed innovation; an in-house screen reader can guarantee consistent progress and reliability.


Why Accessibility Matters:

• Empowerment & Inclusion: Accessible technology fosters independence and equality.

• Economic Growth: Accessibility features expand market reach and enhance brand value.

• Universal Benefits: Innovations in accessibility improve usability for everyone.

Samsung Disability/Accessibility  Answer Desk is not available on the X (Twitter) app unlike Google and Apple etc. On the another hand Samsung others support and products team are available on the X app. Samsung should also take care their Disabled users need like Samsung try to take care their Non-Disabled users need. Kindly Samsung give your Samsung Disability services on the Twitter app also.

Samsung your Brand Ambassador does not active here, they do not answer to us and they are also do not want to help us.
This problem are occuring with your mostlly Brand Ambassadors. They even do not reply to Disabled users like me because they do not know enough about Samsung Talkback and Samsung Text To Speech Engine etc.
Please aware them about these Samsung apps, Fire inactive Samsung Brand ambassadors and make sure to give this post to whom is Disability and User friendly person in future.

Samsung Gallery app should have the option of either Auto-generate Image Description or Alternative text so any Samsung Talkback user can know about the Gallery's photo. For your information Samsung Talkback can not properly describe the image yet so Samsung Gallery must generate Auto-Description/Alt Text for Samsung Talkback users.
Auto-Image Description/Alt text is also important because 285 millions means 28 crore 50 lakhs people are Blind across the World. Enough numbers of Blind uses Samsung Mobile so Samsung should work on these features very seriously.
Please like it if you are agree.

Your Samsung Members and mostly other apps are not fully accessible for Screen Reader (TalkBack) users like me. Please apply App View instead of Web View, follow the Indian Government Accessibility guidelines and WCAG for making your app accessible for all including all 21 disabilities.

Samsung Talkback can not read image properly. Please give either Image description or ALT text in your posts so any Blind like me can read your image's messages.

Samsung should not change of Samsung Talkback app updated date in Samsung Galaxy Store without giving any Samsung Talkback update.
Now it is changing Talkback updated date even without giving any update of Talkback.
