Voice accessibility

Voice Accessibility

Voice accessibility means making sure websites, apps, and digital tools can be used with voice commands instead of typing or tapping. This helps people with disabilities, those who have trouble using a keyboard or touchscreen, or anyone who prefers voice control. Features like voice search, screen readers, and voice assistants make digital experiences more inclusive.

Why it’s important for your business

If your product isn’t voice-accessible, you’re shutting out users who rely on voice commands to navigate. Adding voice-friendly features makes your product easier to use for more people, improving customer satisfaction. It also keeps your business up to date as voice technology becomes more common.

Examples

1. E-commerce: An online store adds voice search so users can find products by speaking instead of typing.
2. Finance: A banking app lets users check their account balance and make payments using voice commands.
3. Health: A medical website supports screen readers so visually impaired users can listen to health information instead of reading it.

Making voice accessibility a priority helps businesses serve more customers and create a smoother, more inclusive user experience.
