Introducing Zeplin at Kikora
At Kikora, I have integrate Zeplin to bridge developers and designers to see accessibility issues before production. Designers can create accessible design components by ensuring proper color contrast, using semantic HTML elements, providing text alternatives for images, and making sure interactive elements like buttons and links are clearly labeled.
Bring correct HTML semantics for buttons and links
Bring correct roles for the menu, Modal dialog boxes, Switch and Radio buttons
Correct correct CSS for responsive design
We have fixed design assets, including SVGs, icons, and images, in accessible formats.
At Creaza we used Ai to bring Alternative text and Video Caption
Alternative Text for Images:
Image Recognition: We have introduce AI-powered image recognition systems that analyze images and automatically generate descriptions based on content used from Cartoonist Image Librray. Content creators like students and teacher can use these descriptions as a starting point for alternative text and then refine them as needed.
Video Captioning:
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR): AI-driven ASR technology can transcribe spoken words in videos and generate captions automatically. This is especially useful for content creators who want to make their video content accessible to individuals with hearing impairments.
Multilingual Support: AI can be employed to translate the generated captions into multiple languages, making content accessible to a broader audience.
