Navigating Accessibility: Guiding the future of inclusive technology - with Idan Meir

The Future Of Now Podcast

"At RightHear, [...] we made it clear to ourselves that this solution is going to be one hundred percent free to our users. Why? Because they don't need to pay for the world to be accessible." – Idan Meir

In this episode, Aki and Idan discuss -

• The differences in how "inclusion starts with accessibility" in the physical and digital landscapes
• How RightHear went from a personalised coupon company to an innovative app described as a "ramp for the blind"
• The importance of user testing - especially when you are not your end user
• The advantages of having a mission and purpose beyond business
• How accessibility starts with attitude and goes beyond technology, ramps and screen-readers
