We’ve built products, like those mentioned above, to ensure our products are accessible to anyone and everyone. But our many accessibility features can only be used effectively if our customers understand exactly how they can help them in their everyday lives.\n\nThat’s why we’re excited to unveil our accessibility campaign, which includes a [series of videos]( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaQihAe6OdwIj3TkzYEKPN0Nycry8-Veo ), featuring [Amazon’s Jessie Lorenz](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/meet-amazon-employees-making-alexa-more-accessible) and other people with disabilities, using a number of our accessibility features across [Alexa, Fire TV, Kindle, and more](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Devices/b?ie=UTF8&node=2102313011). We hope these examples will help all of our customers learn how Amazon’s accessibility features can help them be more connected, entertained, and independent. Additionally, we’ve redesigned [amazon.com/accessibility](http://amazon.com/accessibility) to make it easier for customers to explore more.\n\n[Audio-described version and transcript](https://www.amazon.com/b?node=24416427011).\n\n“More than one billion people worldwide have a disability,” said Peter Korn, director of accessibility for Amazon Devices. “What I love most about this work is the authentic representation—how real people with real disabilities are featured, highlighting how our products and services can help customers with disabilities live the life they want. At Amazon, we strive to build accessible products alongside people with disabilities, to benefit everyone. And with our redesigned accessibility website, we’re working to make these offerings easy to discover, too.”\n\nTo learn more about how Amazon’s accessibility features may be useful to you, visit [amazon.com/accessibility](http://amazon.com/accessibility).","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"About Amazon","url":"https://www.aboutamazon.com","sameAs":["https://x.com/amazonnews","https://www.linkedin.com/company/amazon","https://www.instagram.com/amazonnews"],"logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://assets.aboutamazon.com/bd/8f/88e7b0314cc2bd05b9de3155a0fe/amazon-news.svg"},"parentOrganization":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Amazon","url":"https://www.amazon.com","sameAs":["https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3884","https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_(company)","https://x.com/Amazon"]}}}
