This Video is part of a series within LEAD-ME, a project funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union.

2
00:00:09,966 --> 00:00:16,999
With this series, we want to inform professional educators, trainers, teachers and speakers 

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,966
on how to create accessible, barrier free content for live audiences.

4
00:00:23,966 --> 00:00:32,999
We also want to give you some ideas on accessibility of video- and audio broadcast, print and pictures.

5
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:44,000
You will receive basic information on how computers, internet or social media are being used by a diverse audience.

6
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,033
This video will focus on mobile devices and computers.

7
00:00:50,033 --> 00:00:58,033
A few things to know about creating content for the use on mobile device or on computer. 

8
00:00:58,033 --> 00:01:03,033
Not all mobile devices are used the same way by different people. 

9
00:01:03,033 --> 00:01:12,033
Ensure that your content is responsive to assistive technologies.This means, for instance, that your application shows 

10
00:01:12,033 --> 00:01:21,033
well on computer, tablet or smart phone.But it also means, that it is optimized for any assistive technologies or software.

11
00:01:21,033 --> 00:01:27,066
For most people with hearing impairments, it is very important to have written audio description. 

12
00:01:27,066 --> 00:01:42,066
Elena says:Since there is now even an app for volume, inductive hearing and sound adjustment for my hearing aid, I use my smartphone all the more frequently.

13
00:01:42,066 --> 00:01:50,066
John says:Computers, tablets and smartphones are an important part of my communication.

14
00:01:50,066 --> 00:01:58,099
On social media, I can connect to and interact with friends, whether it is just by writing someone a quick message or joining a video chat.

15
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:05,100
Sam says:I use magnification functionality, screen reader functionality, colour scheme adaptations or voice 

16
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:12,100
assistant features on my smartphone, tablet and computer.It’s only natural.

17
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:18,100
It would be great if a auditive descriptions are implanted. 

18
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:23,600
Karl says:Speaking for people with learning difficulties, our biggest barrier is the lack of funds.

19
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:29,100
Most of us don’t have access to digital devices.

20
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:37,166
Another problem is the lack of assistance.We would need help for learning to use computers and mobile devices.

21
00:02:37,166 --> 00:02:46,132
Mike says:If you ask me, the good old newspaper still serves its purpose for me.

22
00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:59,133
Well, this shows that the use of 21st century technology is not only a matter of ability or impairment, but depends a lot on how people grew up or what kind of media they prefer.
