Apps accessibility requirements

Digital accessibility is about making the access to digital information possible regardless of the nature of a person’s disability and how they consult the information. It involves different technologies such as the Web, videos, Word and PDF documents, but also digital television or mobile phones.
It is not a matter of increasing the amount of information outlets, but of following functional, graphical, technical and editorial rules that will enable everyone to access an information no matter what tools they use.
