Key statements on ICT product and services accessibility: Google provides a wide variety of services that are mostly accessed with a Web browser. Our users visit Google from a large number of browsers and platforms; in addition, we also understand that every user is special and may have special needs. Accessibility at Google is about making sure that our services work well for all our users, independent of the user's needs and abilities at any given time. Google's primary service --- Web Search --- has a very simple user interface and has always been highly accessible from a variety of user environments. Newer services that present highly interactive user interfaces continue to present accessibility challenges when used with specialized adaptive technologies such as screenreaders. We are committed to finding accessibility solutions that make our services work better for all of our users.
