: "Das, was früher behindertengerecht hieß, hat die euphemistische Tretmühle durchlaufen und firmiert heute unter dem politisch korrekten „barrierefrei“. Intuitiv denkt man an Rollstuhlrampen und breite WCs mit vielen Haltegriffen am Waschbecken. Doch Barrierefreiheit fängt schon dort an, wo man sie als Nichtbetroffener womöglich gar nicht wahrnimmt oder zumindest für nicht so wichtig erachtet: im Internet."
Und:
iPhone apps seeking to ease blind/deaf interaction - Core77: "Remember Bruno Fosi's iPhone case for the blind? He's not alone in trying to develop iPhone tools for the different-abled and those that interact with them: There's iVisit's SeeScan, an app that uses the camera to identify objects it's pointed at and speaks their names aloud, and Izatt International's Bumps, which helps the sight-enabled learn Braille.
Izatt has another flashcard-style app called Fingerspell, which is basically the same as Bumps but helps users learn sign language.
Lastly, the soundAMP app is designed to turn your iPhone into a hearing aid. Using the built-in mic (or an external, up to you), it simply turns the phone into a large speaker, amplifying everything it picks up. I'm not crazy about the interface, pictured up top--too many bezels, bevels, shadows and reflections for me--but the intent is admirable."
