Acessibilidade para Pessoas Cegas: Avaliação de Compatibilidade do TalkBack com a ABNT NBR 17060
Abstract
The frequent release of updates and accessibility features is a hallmark of the Android Operating System (OS). Google TalkBack is a feature that offers blind people autonomous navigation through audible responses. Compliance with accessibility guidelines is important. For this research, a checklist was created with four criterias based on ABNT NBR 17060 to evaluate TalkBack compared to the requirements and recommendations provided for in the Brazilian standard. The methodological approach considered the survey carried out in a questionnaire directed at blind respondents and the experience of using a Smartphone Motorola Moto G22, Android 12. The resource was compatible with only two of the criterias addressed. The results of this work should serve as an indicator of improvements for the analyzed resource to ensure greater accessibility for blind people using Android Smartphones.
