Key statements on ICT product and services accessibility: Google provides a wide variety of services that are mostly accessed with a web browser. Accessibility at Google is about making sure that services work well for users, independent of the user's needs and abilities at any given time. Google's primary service - web search - has a very simple user interface and has always been highly accessible from a variety of user environments. Newer services that present highly interactive user interfaces continue to present accessibility challenges when used with specialized adaptive technologies such as screenreaders. Google is committed to finding accessibility solutions that make its services work better for all users.
