Together for more digital accessibility. Without ifs and buts
Digital media is for everyone, but not everyone can use it. Many people think of accessibility in terms of elevators, handicapped-accessible rooms, or traffic lights with audible signals. But what does accessibility mean in the age of digitalization? According to a study by Aktion Mensch on the usage behavior of people with disabilities, it means that people with disabilities can use the Internet, i.e. perceive, understand, navigate and interact. In its 2006 Human Rights Convention, the United Nations even defines unhindered access to information and communication, including the Internet, as a fundamental human right.
At the same time, the Internet and digital media offer the opportunity to overcome previously existing barriers that many people experience when communicating and interacting with each other. According to the Aktion Mensch study, people with disabilities use the Internet more frequently than people without disabilities. According to this study, electronic interaction is of particular importance because it is what makes access to certain services possible in the first place. But there are also legal facts to consider when it comes to digital accessibility. In the meantime, however, the topic of digital accessibility is getting a legal basis. Public institutions are already obliged to make their content digitally accessible. By 2024, other major areas of public and digital life will also be obliged to make websites and the like accessible; the buzzword here is the European Accessibility Act.






What distinguishes our history
The story behind Eye-Able® is shaped by managing director Oliver Greiner's personal experiences with people with disabilities. His best friend Lennart, who is now part of the team as a usability tester, sees about 10% due to a genetic vision disorder. This gives Oliver a direct connection to the problems that people with disabilities experience on websites every day. After his friend had to quit his studies because of his disability, he set himself the goal of finding a solution for the individual problems people have on websites every day.
Our cooperation with institutes
We work closely with institutes such as the German Institute for the Blind in Würzburg and the Berufsförderwerk Würzburg. In this way, we have always been able to ensure that our software solutions really help the people who need that support. The inclusive development approach should also be mentioned here: Together, in close exchange with the institutes, our solutions were developed and are constantly optimized.

Werder Bremen

Small symbol, big effect. SV Werder Bremen improves the accessibility of its official website with the help of the assistance software "Eye-Able". From now on, visitors to WERDER.DE can use over 25 functions via an icon on the right-hand side of the screen to adapt the website to their individual visual needs.
The tool can be used, for example, to change contrast modes, set adaptive magnification, or activate color-weakening filters. Werder fans with very different visual abilities can thus use the site in a more customized way. 1.2 million people in Germany alone are considered to have impaired vision. A number that is continuing to grow rapidly, partly due to the aging society.

The website of the Archdiocese of Cologne is now technically accessible. This applies to both the desktop view and the mobile application on smartphones and tablets.

Now we have a situation where we have technically realized a high level of accessibility," says Wolfgang Koch-Tien, an officer in the IT department of the Archdiocese of Cologne and responsible for the technical infrastructure of the websites. In the near future, the function will also be made available for many other websites of the archdiocese
