Apple is introducing Accessibility Nutrition Labels to its App Store, highlighting each app's accessibility features, such as VoiceOver and text size adjustments. This initiative, announced for Global Accessibility Awareness Day, aims to assist users like Cory Joseph, who has been blind since birth. Joseph, also a principal accessibility solutions architect at CVS Health, underscores the significance of transparency in app accessibility. CVS has made strides in accessible technologies, including the Spoken Rx feature, which helps users read prescription information aloud, and encourages sharing accessibility tools with other developers to enhance inclusivity across platforms.
Cory Joseph notes, "Having this level of transparency from the App Store is huge," emphasizing the significance of Apple's new Accessibility Nutrition Labels for users.
As a principal accessibility solutions architect at CVS Health, Joseph ensures software serves everyone, noting, "We want to make sure that's barrier-free for everyone."
Joseph proudly describes the Spoken Rx feature, stating it's "a baby of mine," highlighting how CVS's technology improves accessibility for patients.
CVS Health's commitment includes open-sourcing accessibility tools, demonstrating their support to the developer community and spreading knowledge in the field of inclusivity.
