Reporters learned from Baidu that Baidu will launch "accessibility services" for blind and low-vision groups in the near future ".
Baidu said that half a year ago, Baidu's product development department began to study the development project of the product and named the product development "Blind track program ". The project received strong support from the Chinese Blind Association.
According to the company's product developers, there are about 5 million blind people in China, accounting for 18% of the world's blind population, and more than 6 million of people with low vision. In the world, search engines have become the main applications for blind people to access the Internet. However, in China, although there are already a variety of auxiliary software for the Blind, in the face of the rich information on the Internet, the blind Internet users lack special Accessibility Design, it has become an "information isolated island" in the network tide, which is the original intention of Baidu to develop this product.
