Request for Improving Screen Reader Accessibility in Hamro Patro App
Dear Hamro Patro Team, Greetings! Hamro Patro is one of the most widely used apps among people with visual impairments in Nepal, including myself. It has become a vital tool for accessing calendars, news, and other information. Because of its popularity and importance, I had always believed that an app as extensive and responsible as Hamro Patro would prioritize accessibility for all users, including those of us who rely on screen readers. However, I regret to inform you that the app currently lacks proper screen reader accessibility, making it extremely difficult for visually impaired users to navigate and use it independently. Despite my repeated requests in the past, I have not observed any significant improvements in this regard. Moreover, the recently added web-based features in the latest versions of the app are virtually unusable with screen readers, rendering a large portion of the app inaccessible to users like us. I kindly urge your team to address this important issue and make Hamro Patro more accessible to all, especially users who rely on screen readers. Accessibility is not just a feature—it is a necessity for inclusive digital experiences. I would also like to offer my assistance in this process. As someone actively working in the field of accessibility, I am willing to provide support, feedback, and testing to help you improve the usability of your app for the visually impaired community. I remain hopeful that the Hamro Patro team will take this matter seriously and implement the necessary changes to ensure accessibility for all. Thank you very much for your attention and support.
