With the aim of creating equal opportunities for all users, Snapp has made the Android version of its application available for the blind and partially sighted.
According to IDEA, and the report of Snap public relations, October 15 coincides with World White Cane Day, blind and partially sighted passenger users will be able to use the Snap application through screen readers and request a car from now on.
Using SNAP accessibility for the blind and visually impaired
Blind and partially sighted people can benefit from this feature by downloading or updating the latest version of Android Snap through Cafe Bazaar, Myket, or Huawei AppGallery.
After receiving or updating the Snap application, blind or partially sighted people can register their travel requests using screen reader interface applications. Screen readers are programs that convert the content of an application or site into audio content and help blind or partially sighted users benefit from the services of various applications.
Additionally, the passenger user can enter the settings section and register their blindness/low vision in the accessibility section. By using this feature, the driver is informed about the status of his passenger and receives the necessary training on how to deal with and communicate.
Adding the ability to connect to screen reader programs for the blind has been done in the continuation of the accessibility of this application for people with disabilities. Previously, the ability to register disability in the user account was available to users; In this way, people with mobility disabilities as well as the deaf or hard of hearing can also experience a better trip with Snap by registering their disability in their user account.
During these years, in addition to the accessibility of its application for people with disabilities, Snap has tried to take steps to improve the quality of life of this group. Among these measures can be exempted from the commission of drivers with disabilities and the implementation of charity projects in Snapclub with topics such as “assisting the employment of people with disabilities”, “special dental equipment for people with disabilities”, “providing rehabilitation and special medical equipment” Children with disabilities” and “setting up a counseling center for people with autism” mentioned.
