Abstract

This study was made over some database of accessibility principles, to investigate the state of the art of contemporary design topics about accessibility in mobile applications, while comparing the WCAG 2.1 and the Guide for Development of Accessible Mobile Applications (GUAMA) in a case study with the Samsung Áudio Acordes (Chords), an app developed for teaching guitar for blind people. The results will serve to propose revisions/new protocols which allow to evaluate and sketch more accessible versions of these kind of digital products, helping development teams, designers, testers, etc., to improve the experiences for users with disabilities into new more accessible mobile applications.
