Personalizing Accessibility
What should you do when users' accessibility needs conflict? For example, some users prefer more color contrast, while others require less contrast. To give a few examples, some might need labels to accompany icons, and for some, having too much text can make the app experience worse. Some love graphs and others have difficulty understanding what they represent and would need the same data in written format.
One way to tackle this problem is to allow users to personalize their app experience. In this talk, I will discuss different ways of personalization, including the opportunities and drawbacks. I will also give some actionable examples of how to let your users personalize their experience. After listening to this talk, you'll leave with actionable knowledge about providing a more accessible experience for your users via personalization.
