Technology reporterThis was the sentiment from Google as it opened its first UK research and development centre dedicated to making tech to help people with disabilities.
"Technology now touches so many aspects of everyone's daily lives, but for disabled people it can literally be life-changing," he said. For example, subtitling technology, which originally started out to help deaf and hard-of-hearing television viewers, had a positive impact on people in general, and has become useful for the masses.
"Captions communicate not only what is being spoken but also any useful background noises which help amplify the plot, such as [dramatic music] for building tension, or a [loud explosion] off camera which helps explain why the main character looks a little alarmed," she said.
