For millions of Amazon customers with disabilities, even simple accessibility features make a big difference.

“Everything that makes somebody's life a little better is exciting to me,” said Josh Miele. Miele is an accessibility consultant whose primary job is to help Amazon develop things like tablets, TVs, and Alexa-enabled devices that are accessible for people with disabilities.

Because I'm blind, and because I've spent most of my career designing and developing accessibility tools for Blind people, that is one of the main areas that I focus on, he said.
