Scope of Coverage
Accommodation Status
- ・ For third-party applications such as Google Maps, YouTube, Facebook, etc., we try to incorporate accessibility considerations as much as possible, but some functions may not meet the accessibility standards. Even in such cases, we will try to provide alternatives (e.g., text-based explanations or summaries).
- ・ For videos, we will try to make subtitles available whenever possible, but they may not be available for older videos. In such cases, we will endeavor to provide text-based summaries or explanations to the extent possible.
