City of Bonn for digital accessibility

News
Press Release

Digital accessibility is central to the modern world. It is not only an ethical imperative, but also a legal requirement in many countries. Accessibility enables people with different abilities to have equal access to digital content and services. That is why we are pleased to announce the new partnership between the city of Bonn and Eye-Able® .

The city of Bonn is not only known for its picturesque surroundings and rich history, but also for its progress in digitalization. Bonn actively promotes digital inclusion and sets an example with the use of the Eye-Able® tools: Every citizen, regardless of their abilities or limitations, should be able to comfortably use digital services of the city.

The partnership: a win-win situation

The partnership between Eye-Able® and the City of Bonn is a true win-win situation. The City of Bonn is committed to ensuring that its digital services are accessible to all citizens. Eye-Able® brings the expertise and technology to achieve this goal.

The joint work focuses on making the city's website and digital services more accessible. The city of Bonn now has more than Eye-Able®-solutions, the city of Bonn now has more than 25 accessibility features. These include contrast modes, text-to-speech features, and alternative text descriptions for images.

The partnership between Eye-Able® and the city of Bonn is a remarkable example of how technology companies and governments can work together to promote digital inclusion. This partnership will not only improve the lives of citizens in Bonn, but will hopefully serve as an inspiration for other cities and companies to take similar steps.
