Adee: Bringing Accessibility Right Inside Design Tools

According to the world bank organization report, about 15 percent of the world’s population (equal to 1 billion people) experience some form of disability [3]. However, designers can easily forget to take account of disabilities such as colorblindness, as most designers are not colorblind and tools for accessibility are not integrated into design tools. In this work, we introduce and evaluate Adee, an accessibility testing tool that has been integrated into widely used design tools Adobe XD, Figma and Sketch. Adee aims to make accessibility part of the design process, to create inclusive and ethical products.
