On the opening night of Elevate Festival 2023, TD Bank Group made a major announcement by introducing the TD Accessibility Adapter, a free accessibility plugin for chrome. Available to users in both Canada and the United States, this innovative tool allows people to customize their online experience according to their specific accessibility requirements. Some of its notable features include reading guides, adjustable font sizes, dark mode, dyslexia-friendly font, and monochrome mode. In particular, it is designed to coexist seamlessly with other assistive technologies, ensuring a consistent and inclusive online experience for all users.
Samantha Estoesta, product manager at TD Bank Group, has a deeply personal connection to the TD Accessibility Adapter. She used to struggle with chronic migraines caused by the blue light emanating from her computer screen, which often led her to work in near-total darkness with the screen’s brightness on its lowest setting. However, for the past four months, she has been using the TD Accessibility Adapter, a tool in creating her that she played a pivotal role in. This innovative tool has significantly mitigated her migraine frequency by almost 75%, offering her a new sense of relief.
Developed by TD Lab, an innovation group within TD, the tool underwent rigorous testing, initially with more than 6,000 TD Bank colleagues. After proving its worth, the TD Accessibility Adapter is now available to the public, aligning with TD Bank’s commitment to inclusive innovation and its goal of extending support to people with diverse needs, both inside and outside the bank.
