What is Digital Accessibility?

Digital accessibility is the practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, digital systems by people with disabilities. This involves designing and developing websites, mobile applications, software, hardware, and other digital platforms in a way that they can be used by individuals with a range of abilities, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

Digital accessibility not only benefits those with disabilities but also enhances the overall user experience, making digital content more usable and understandable for all. In many jurisdictions, it's a legal requirement under disability discrimination laws.

How does one improve digital accessibility in their products?

Key components of digital accessibility include accessible website design, multimedia with features like captions or transcripts, properly formatted digital documents, and accessible software and apps. It also extends to hardware design.

Hi, does anyone know of a program that will automatically lower sound / set a maximum sound level so as to prevent hearing loss? Preferably something that works with mpd.

In audio production this is called a compressor limiter

Thanks, I think I found what I need. There seems to be many programs designed to add audio effects for Pipewire, one popular example being EasyEffects (previously named PulseEffects)
