Many Command Line Interface (CLI) programs unintentionally exclude users with disabilities due to overlooked accessibility features. This talk highlights the importance of prioritising accessibility in CLI design. We’ll explore considerations, such as integrating auditory cues, designing inclusive colour schemes, and ensuring compatibility with assistive technologies. By focusing on creating readable and navigable outputs, developers can build programs that are not just functional but truly inclusive, enabling everyone to interact effectively.

I will need the ability to play sound. This would be the first time delivering this talk. I will also be calling on volunteers from the audience.
