According to the World Health Organization, about 285 million people worldwide are visually impaired, and of those, around 39 million are fully blind. Feature-rich websites are designed to enhance visual appeal, and the lack of accessibility standards (video labeling, alt text, captions, etc.) acts as a barrier for people with disabilities.
The challenge lies in ensuring that digital channels adhere to various regulatory and federal requirements – WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), Section 508, and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). Other common issues include low-contrast images, smaller font sizes, and lack of voice descriptions for images and text.
Virtusa’s accessibility testing solution ensures that your web/mobile applications are tested for accessibility compliance. We provide recommendations to optimize your channels for the differently abled users. With a 15%-30% operational efficiency boost and significant cost optimization, Virtusa’s solution promises agility and improved compliance.
