Menus4ALL Provides Accessible Menus for People with Vision Loss
The website Menus4ALL has recently launched, providing accessible restaurant menus for those with visual impairments. At launch, the free service provides access to 50,000 menus in 12,000 cities. A launch video demos the service using the VoiceOver screen reader on iOS.
To get started, visit the Menus4ALL webpage. Select your location either by finding your city in the "Cities" link, or by searching for restaurants near to your ZIP code using the "Search" link.
Note that if your city is not displayed, it may still be available using the ZIP code search. Also, it's possible to request that a city be added to the list of cities using a form just below the list of states and cities.
While composing this news piece, we tested the site briefly at AFB's West Virginia location. The site was fully accessible using a screen reader and was also easy to navigate. The site also provided access to several menus near AFB's West Virginia offices that were not available from other sources.
