Today's information devices have the voice operation function. This is very beneficial for the persons with difficulties on access (ex. persons with visual impairment, upper-limb impairment, etc.). However, if the voice commands are not unified, or speech recognition is poor, the information devices cannot understand the voice commands. To avoid such problems, various standards about voice commands are published.

* ISO/IEC 24786:2009 was totally revised in order to correspond to the new technologies, and the revised edition was published as ISO/IEC 20071-5:2022.
Today's information devices (mainly, computer) have the accessibility functions that enable the persons with difficulties on access (ex. persons with visual impairment, upper-limb impairment, etc.) operate them. These functions are defined in ISO 9241-171. However, there is problem that the user interfaces to open and/or set these functions are not accessible.
Can't see characters!
Can't click!--- The accessibility setting is not accessible!
To solve this problem and to enable the persons with difficulties on access operate the information devices by themselves, ISO/IEC 24786 and JIS X 8341-7 defines the standard of accessible user interface for accessibility setting.
