Making Accessibility More Accessible for Your Organization
summary
Sonos reports 13.4 million households and describes a concrete program: a 2019 survey plus follow‑up interviews that reveal all initial hypotheses are wrong and that VoiceOver should follow the visual left‑to‑right top‑to‑bottom order. The team audits Now Playing versus Apple Music and Spotify, restructures workflow so UX defines VoiceOver, partners with an external recruitment agency for assistive‑tech testing, and maps voiceover strings onto Figma to hand off implementation.
