Meet Marcel, a Software Engineer on our Engineering team! Marcel is also a member of our Yelp Employee Resource Group, YelpAbility. When Marcel was interviewing for his role at Yelp, he notified the recruiter about his low vision, so that the recruiter could ensure that his accessibility requirements were met throughout and beyond the interview process. "This really shows that we’re living this issue of disability, accessibility, and inclusion every day at Yelp," Marcel said.

In addition to the eight new accessibility attributes we announced last week, we’re rolling out new improvements throughout the app and website to better support people with visual impairments. New AI-powered alternative text for photos on restaurant, food and nightlife business pages will help people who use screen readers better understand the details and context of a photo. Plus, we’ve improved color contrast on the platform and enhanced the overall screen reader experience. We look forward to continuing our work to create a more accessible and inclusive world for everyone, and hope you'll join us in our journey.  Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dpfdUYGf.
