Accessibility Modules for Third-Party Applications
Our phone for visually impaired users includes accessibility modules designed to interact with certain third-party applications that were not originally intended for the visually impaired, such as YouTube, WhatsApp, Wikipedia, Google, etc. These modules are developed by our team to improve the user experience for visually impaired individuals.
Responsibility and Limitations
- These modules rely on third-party applications whose functionality and updates we do not control.
- If a third-party service changes its usage policy, interface, or core functions, it may cause our modules to become partially or fully non-operational.
- Our company cannot be held responsible for any malfunctions caused by such changes beyond our control.
Our Commitment
We do our best to adapt our modules to changes in third-party applications.
However, in the event of major service changes, we cannot guarantee an immediate alternative solution.
If you encounter a problem, feel free to contact us so we can evaluate the situation.
