"My name is Zheng Rui, I am a visually impaired person with only a little sense of light in my eyes, from the Information Accessibility Research Association. I want to invite two or three partners to experience the voice reading screen and smart recognition function in my mobile phone, are there any friends who are willing to feel it? On September 12, at the scene of huawei's HDC accessibility sub-forum (consumer business sustainable development media exchange meeting), a visually impaired friend was easily interacting with everyone through the accessibility features of Huawei mobile phones.
Does everyone need an accessibility experience? The answer is yes. Few people may have thought about this question, but accessibility is not exclusive to the so-called "special group", it belongs to each and every one of us. When your hands are filled with shopping bags, when you can't find the lights late at night, when you have a sore throat and can't speak, when you are drooping and your ears are not clear and your eyes are glazed, the barrier-free experience can make it easier for you to use electronic devices and communicate smoothly with the people around you. In other words, the development and upgrading of accessibility experiences is a matter for today's grandparents, tomorrow's parents, and our own day after tomorrow.
In the progress report on the sustainable development of Huawei's consumer business released at the barrier-free sub-forum, it showed us that since 2017, EMUI 5.1 has begun to fully optimize the user accessibility experience, and Huawei mobile phones currently have 15 barrier-free functions, including screen reading, free-connecting calls, color correction, "other and other identification", wireless sound transmission, and simple mode. According to statistics, about 10 million people use Huawei's mobile phone accessibility service every month, and about 8.87 million elderly people use Huawei's mobile phone simple mode every month.
Zheng Rui shared his barrier-free experience with everyone, he did not go to a special school, he used to study hard with a super high magnifier, and was admitted to Shenzhen University through the ordinary college entrance examination. He can now go out alone through his smartphone, and even fly from Shenzhen to Hangzhou, Beijing and other long-distance business trips. During the journey, through the smart object recognition function of Huawei mobile phone, he can not only smoothly know the basic information such as seat number and toilet, but also know whether chewing gum is sugar-free, and he can see the scenery along the way and distinguish the name and type of flowers.

The value of technology lies not only in how powerful the product itself is, but also in how it gives users the power to change. Zheng Rui is now a small blogger on Douyin @ Blind Detective - Xiaolong Egg, will occasionally live broadcast or post videos on Douyin, teach everyone how to use the accessibility features on mobile phones, and the Huawei barrier-free related videos released by Douyin have been played more than 3 million times and won 25,000 likes. "Information accessibility is of great help to all kinds of disabled groups, and I believe that everyone will be able to share civilized society equally." 、
In the future, Huawei will not only continue to deepen its efforts in the field of information accessibility, but also empower more developers to create a better barrier-free life together, open up more barrier-free design specifications and platforms, and make more contributions to accessibility with "allies". Accessibility is not just a matter of "special groups", Huawei wants to benefit everyone.
