About My Accessible Google

The range of Google applications is growing all the time, and there is a number of these applications which are now being used by more and more people, both in a desktop environment as well as via the mobile phone. The issue is that many of these applications have poor design from a sight accessibility perspective. In fact some are not useable at all, such as Google Calendar. So after the success of YourTube Povidi decided to look more closely at what could be done about this. We worked closely with Dylan Neale who had done a lot of research into using the Google API (computer jargon for allowing computer code to talk to google), and our first offering is a simple and efficient mechanism for accessing the google calendar, reviewing appointments and adding simple entries.

We are aware that moves are afoot in the area of google accessibility and have put My Accessible Google Calendar together over a 3 week period to show what can be done. Many other google applications can have a different design front end we would love to be involved in this process.

Further applications will be looked at if there is enough demand for them so please let us know what you think.

If you find the experience here a good one then please also let Google know, we would love to work with them on making their wonderful apps more accessible.
