Sight-Impaired Rideshare Apps

This Ride-Hailing App is Designed to Help the Visually Impaired

— July 17, 2015 — Tech
'Gett' is an Israeli ride-hailing app that makes it easier for visually impaired users to access rideshare services. The accessible app was partially developed by Adi Kushner, who has begun a mission to make technology more accessible for blind individuals.

The app operates according to a similar structure as the popular rideshare app 'Uber.' However, Gett differs from Uber in that it is accessible for blind people. In order to make it possible for the visually impaired to use the app, Gett enabled the app to work with Apple's built-in VoiceOver technology. The app will read information out loud so that users can scroll through the app's different features without needed to see the screen itself.

Beyond the ride-hailing app, Kushner hopes that more companies will figure out ways of making their products more accessible for the visually impaired.
Trend Themes
1. Accessible Rideshare Apps - The trend of developing rideshare apps specifically designed for visually impaired users, offering accessible transportation options.
2. Voice-enabled Mobile Applications - The trend of integrating built-in voice technology into mobile applications to make them accessible and user-friendly for visually impaired individuals.
3. Inclusive Technology Solutions - The trend of developing inclusive technology solutions that cater to the needs of visually impaired individuals, promoting accessibility and inclusivity.
Industry Implications
1. Ride-hailing Industry - The ride-hailing industry can leverage this trend by developing and optimizing rideshare apps that cater to the visually impaired, tapping into an underserved market segment.
2. Mobile Application Development - The mobile application development industry can seize the opportunity to create voice-enabled mobile apps that enhance accessibility for visually impaired users, improving user experience.
3. Assistive Technology Market - The assistive technology market can capitalize on the demand for inclusive technology solutions by developing innovative products and services that empower visually impaired individuals in their daily lives.
