Core Accessibility Concept

A conventional e-commerce interface relies heavily on visual elements such as menus, buttons, product cards, form labels, status messages, and navigation hierarchy.

For this project, the interface needed to expose contextual information in a way that could be consumed audibly.

The system therefore incorporated dynamic text-to-speech behavior based on the content or interface element being interacted with.

Challenge

The key challenge was generating real-time contextual voice commands and spoken feedback according to the content currently being interacted with.

Rather than providing only static audio descriptions, the application needed to react to changing interface context. This required coordination between application state, interface components, current user interaction, and text-to-speech output.

03MOD

Architecture

The solution used a Vue.js SPA communicating with a Laravel backend and MySQL database. This frontend architecture supported the dynamic interface behavior necessary for the voice-assisted experience.
