Rajkot: Covid-induced keys make the most of us a little more dependent on our application, but Aziz’s interest in facing challenges that go beyond pandemics.
29-year-old blind bankers, who remain alone in Ahmedabad, find it difficult to maneuver through the food delivery application interface, making life harder.
However, refusing to give up, he took the cause and ensured that at least two main food delivery applications in this country change their application to make it easily accessible to disabled people.
Interests, a resident of Sarkhej, struggle to order food through the food aggregator application during locking because this application is not activated to work with screen readers – interfaces between operating systems and users who read what is on the screen and allow users to direct the cursor accordingly.
Interests told Tii, “I put this problem on social media and a friend recommended that I submitted a petition on Change.org last February later one more in June.
It gets a very good response because these companies contact me by mail And by telephone about changes that need to be done.
“While one of the companies applying changes last year, the second company changed the application 10 days ago and, on their blog, credited in the interest of interest because it helped them put themselves in their position with interference.
Interests say there are very few applications compatible with screen readers.
“Today, there are many applications for travel, banking, and a myriad of other services.
They must be made in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WACG) prepared by the World Wide Web Consortium,” he said, added: “I want India to apply laws Where technies are mandated to develop the needs of disabled people in mind.
” At Change.org, the first petition of interest collected 14,464 supporters, while the second application received a signature from 27,934 people.
Director of the State Platform, Nida Hasan, said, “We are very proud of interest because they believe in their strength to create meaningful changes.
He has started an important conversation about accessibility and inclusiveness for disabled people in India.”
