summary
Showcases concrete wins: an easy access keypad that makes public kiosks self-voicing with an SDK and physical reach zones; a working audio‑description pattern that syncs a hidden MP3 to HTML5 video via play/pause events; a WebVTT+TTS pipeline idea that turns arbitrary text into narrated, highlightable captions; Gatwick beacon indoor navigation and Apple pay as real accessibility helpers; ADA ramp slope (1:12) and zero‑step entry treated as design features, not compromises.
