With the integration of the Eye-Able assistance software, the city administration now offers even better accessibility for its websites.
The website www.bonn.de and the municipal microsites can now be individually modified. This means that not only visually impaired people can fully adapt the display to their needs. And they can do this regardless of their own technical aids or the browser used to access the website.
The program is accessed via an icon at the top of the page. Font size, contrast mode, blue filter and much more can be set. The content can now also be read aloud.
Data protection is guaranteed when using the external program; all transmitted data and servers remain within the European Union.
The application was realized with the help of the e-government team of the IT department of the Bonn city administration. It develops in-house applications, tests new technologies and integrates ready-made software solutions with the aim of making administrative services simpler, more user-friendly and more efficient.
