We will begin the talk sharing the concept of an interface, intended as a layer between two parties that do not speak the same language. We’ll continue talking about accessibility devices and myths that surround them. Then we will dive into how to refactor codebases for screen reader optimization, following accessibility guidelines that improve the user experience for all people. We will conclude by sharing some useful tools that help developers build accessible webpages.
