31<p>Many Android users have disabilities that require them to interact with their Android devices in
32different ways. These include users who have visual, physical or age-related disabilities that
33prevent them from fully seeing or using a touchscreen.</p>

35<p>Android provides accessibility features and services for helping these users navigate their
36devices more easily, including text-to-speech, haptic feedback, trackball and D-pad navigation that
37augment their experience. Android application developers can take advantage of these services to
38make their applications more accessible and also build their own accessibility services.</p>
