Since January 1, 2016, accessibility has been mandatory in Austria for all public goods, services, and information. This also applies to digital offerings.
In order to make electronic media and information systems with graphical user interfaces, operating systems, and the Internet accessible to all people—including those with limited visual, auditory, and/or motor skills—special technologies that support users in interacting with these systems exist (e.g., screen readers for reading website content auditive). In addition, accessibility also deals with design guidelines that aim to avoid obstacles for users. Initiatives such as the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) deal specifically with the accessibility of the Internet.
