Q

Responsive design only benefits users with normal vision?

A. True
B. False

A

B. False

Creating a good responsive design with functional breakpoints on all devices (mobile AND desktop) is one of the single most effective things you can do to help people with low vision. In fact, you could kind of say that everyone has low vision, when it comes to mobile devices. The screens are so small, that if you try to fit a normal design on them, the text becomes extremely difficult or impossible to read.

Q

Screen magnifiers are only useful to desktop users?

A. True
B. False

A

B. False

People with low vision need to use screen magnifiers because they can’t see things well enough otherwise. They might use the browser’s built-in zoom, but they probably need a more complete solution that can magnify the operating system too, and not just the browser. Windows, Macs, iPhones, and Android devices come with built-in zoom tools for people with low vision. There are also third-party zoom tools for desktop computers, such as ZoomText and Magic.

Q

A

The code disables the built in ability to pinch and zoom the site’s content. Zooming text may be required by some users. Especially those with low vision.
