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

1. Accessibility is not only a responsibility, but a reward. By designing and developing websites, tools, and technologies that are accessible to people with disabilities, we can ensure that we reach a wider audience and increase our impact. Providing alternative formats and options can benefit not only people with disabilities, but also people who have different preferences, needs, and situations for example:
* A person with low vision can use text resizing, contrast adjustment, or magnification to read the web content more easily. This benefits non-disabled people who may have difficulty reading small or low-contrast text, such as on a mobile device or in a bright environment.
* A person who is blind can use a screen reader or a braille display to access the web content and interact with the web elements. This benefits non-disabled people who may prefer to listen to the web content instead of reading it, such as when they are driving, multitasking, or tired.
* A person who is deaf can use captions, transcripts, or sign language to access the audio and video content on the web. This benefits non-disabled people who may not be able to hear the web content due to background noise, poor audio quality, or language barriers.
2. We need to make every single thing accessible to every single person with a disability because accessibility is not a cost, but an investment. By designing and developing websites, tools, and technologies that are accessible to people with disabilities, we can ensure that we enhance our brand, drive innovation, and extend our market reach.

Feature Requests for Samsung Talkback:
*Valyria Screen reader sound theme- Please add Valyria Screen reader Sound theme because It makes text to speech voices very attractive and nice. I have attached a video where you can listen to the sound theme: https://youtu.be/GW9IqG-D6-k




new screen reader very fast special sound feedback screen reader assistant many gestures and mor :fire::fire::fire:







from beginning to 00: 30 seconds From 10:: 10 seconds  till end  you can use the above timeline for listening to the sound theme.
*Battery Charging feedback during switching off the phone- Battery Charging percentage comes on the display for the sighted when the phone is powered off but It does not give sound feedback for the Blind.  according to the fact that It is good for our Mobile's Battery if We charge our battery when the mobile is powered off. It makes the battery healthy.
*Include Bixby vision- Please add Bixby Vision app features in the Samsung Talkback like Google Talkback did with Google Lookout.
Please like if agree.

Ultra Indian language voice pack for all Indian languages: Samsung Text to speech engine should give an Ultra Indian language voice which can read almost all the Indian languages so we do not need to download separate- separate language voice pack for different- different Indian languages. 
* Own voice using in Samsung Talkback: Samsung Text to speech engine should give options to users so they can record their voice and use that as a voice in Samsung text to speech engine voice.
