  1. Screen readers: these programs read the content of a web page aloud, allowing people with visual disabilities to access the content. It is recommended to ensure that the content is tagged correctly and has alternative descriptions for images and videos.
  2. Screen magnifiers: these programs increase the size of text and elements on a web page, helping people with visual impairments to see the content.
  3. Adaptive keyboards: these keyboards have a modified or adapted design for people with motor or physical disabilities.
  4. Voice control: these programs allow people to control the computer or device with voice commands, which helps people with mobility or physical disabilities.
  5. Speech Recognition Software: these programs convert speech to text, helping people with motor disabilities to write and communicate.

 

It is important to mention that these assistive technologies are a tool to facilitate access to information, but they are not enough alone since the design and content must also be accessible. It is important to ensure that the website or application is compatible with these technologies and provide instructions and tutorials for their use.
