Abstract

This paper discusses accessible coding tools for programmers with impairments with respect to the efficiency achieved in promoting inclusion and better user experiences. The problems programmers with visual, mobility, or cognitive impairments may face are analysed, and various accessibility features integrated into current coding platforms are discussed. The analysis of a set of tools such as screen readers, voice input, and keyboard shortcuts, has brought out the impact on productivity and workflow from these technologies as recommendations for further development in an all-embracing tech environment.
