In this era when all kinds of intelligent terminals are very popular, our daily life and work have been greatly convenient. However, the convenience of the intelligent life era may not be able to benefit the broad masses of people with disabilities. In an "inaudible, invisible" world, even things that we can easily do, such as making phone calls, taking pictures, watching movies, or processing documents, can become very troublesome.

Of course, many smartphone manufacturers have noticed this problem and have integrated some barrier-free features into their products. Such as voice broadcasting, voice to text, color inversion, use guidance and so on. It's just that whether these functions work or not is another matter.

At the beginning of each year, Phoenix New Media's evaluation program conducts a professional barrier-free evaluation of the mainstream flagship models on the market to see if their barrier-free functions are easy to use.

Test results for 2023 are also coming in the near future, with Huawei and Apple tied for the top five stars. With their better AI visual recognition capabilities, both of them have become the most recommended mobile phone brands for visually impaired users by virtue of their better visual recognition capabilities (currently, only Huawei and Apple can fully describe the objects, location relationships and other scene information in the picture and camera frame).

From accessibility to aging, a comprehensive and extreme experience is the most important in Phoenix New Media's test, covering basic barrier-free functions such as built-in screen reading and zooming, as well as device core functions, device extension functions and built-in applications, AI functions and implementation capabilities, etc., with a total of 40 projects in four categories.

The test results show that Huawei Mate50 Pro, which is supported by HarmonyOS system, has a very perfect barrier-free experience, especially in the detail experience, adapts well with screen reading, and has high overall fluency, which is suitable for visually impaired users to experience deeply.

In addition to Phoenix New Media's test, Huawei phones have also been fully recognized in the accessibility test scores of more peers. For example, Huawei's P50 Pro mobile phone ranked first in China Telecom's smartphone information accessibility score in 2022, while at the World Telecom and Information Society Day conference, the HarmonyOS 2.0 system won the only five-star rating issued by China Telecom Research Institute for OS and UI aging.

It can be seen that Huawei's barrier-free function and experience has indeed done its best and beautiful, so it can be unanimously affirmed by the outside world. And they have built many functions and services in detail, from visual impairment to hearing impairment, even physical and cognitive impairment. Let's take a look at how they build the "systematic project" of accessibility.

Here is a very impressive case. At the 2022 Huawei HDC photo exhibition for visually impaired users, a completely blind photographer Chen Peng's "Ferris wheel" surprised many attendees.

Without knowing in advance, it is hard to imagine that this is the work of a visually impaired user. Chen Peng completed this work by virtue of the photo assistant function of Huawei's P40 mobile phone.

In addition to Chen Peng, the Huawei HDC photo exhibition for visually impaired users also displays works taken by other photographers. Before this, we can hardly imagine that there are many visually impaired users all over the country, using the photo assistant function of Huawei mobile phone to record their scenery when they travel and freeze their happy time with their families. Every photographic work in this is touching.

From barrier-free function adaptation to aging transformation to bridge the digital divide, Huawei mobile phones, with the cooperation of HarmonyOS 3 system, have truly made the experience easy to use and practical, and help people with disabilities around the world work more smoothly and better enjoy the convenience of digital life. All this stems from Huawei's long-term investment and strategic importance in the barrier-free field.

Open and empowering, barrier-free ecology is gradually improving how to use advanced artificial intelligence and digital technology to help hundreds of millions of people with obstacles also enjoy a convenient digital life, which is of great significance and benefits to the people.

However, to accomplish this, it is not only possible for a certain manufacturer to add some barrier-free functions to the equipment, it is not only a systematic project, but also an ecological construction that requires the participation of all parties in the society.

Huawei is also well aware of the importance and complexity of this matter, so at the beginning of promoting barrier-free transformation, Huawei embarked on a more comprehensive and open road at the strategic level than many manufacturers.

After years of continuous investment and experience, Huawei's barrier-free adaptation work has gradually defined two core strategic directions:

One is based on the ability of AI and the combination of software and hardware to continue to polish the barrier-free basic experience, polishing the basic functions to the extreme.

The second is to make use of Hongmeng ecology to create high-quality functions suitable for handicapped groups.

On this basis, Huawei has further shared the ability of sign language service (Signpal Kit) with the vast number of developers, so that more hearing impaired applications can integrate this function, such as hearing impaired, audio book, bosom friend and other App. Huawei has made use of Huawei's sign language service capability to play a role in teaching in hearing impaired schools, daily communication and other scenarios.

Moreover, there are many developers for enterprise users, such as Cape Cloud, Cotton Sugar Technology, Silicon-based Intelligence, etc., are also integrating Huawei sign language services to provide more hearing impaired users with barrier-free services in areas such as government window and video playback.

Compared with the efforts at the functional level of products, these measures undoubtedly have the nature of more social responsibility, because barrier-free and ageing projects themselves require all builders to have more responsibilities and less benefits. in order to truly make the ecology benign and sustainable.

The conclusion recalls that the fundamental significance of promoting scientific and technological innovation is to enable everyone to enjoy the convenience brought about by technological progress without difference, so as to promote the common progress of mankind as a whole.

So that all troubles and obstacles can be turned into a smooth and smooth way, which is the fundamental goal of technological progress.

In the case of Huawei, it is a simple vision: "Technology, no one is left behind."

In order to realize this vision, Huawei has made a lot of efforts, not only to carefully polish its barrier-free function and experience, but also to devote itself to the construction of the whole barrier-free and aging society with an open and inclusive attitude.

It is believed that with the continuous improvement of such an ecosystem, more and more people with obstacles will create more possibilities in digital life. One day, "obstacles" will be a thing of the past.
