I went straight to screen reader compatibility and audio cues, which felt safe but probably too narrow.
Start by clarifying the goal and constraints, then segment blind users by context and needs. Walk through the core Spotify experience (discovery, playback, navigation) and propose specific accessibility features, prioritizing impact vs. effort. Close by defining success metrics and a test-and-learn plan.
Pro tip: Don't just list features—show how you'd validate them with blind users and measure success. Mentioning existing standards like WCAG and VoiceOver/TalkBack shows you understand the ecosystem and can ship compliant, delightful experiences.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the scope: which platforms, what 'blind' means (congenital vs. late blind), and what success looks like. Define the target user and their core jobs-to-be-done.
Identify key user journeys (onboarding, search, playback, playlist management) and pinpoint accessibility barriers such as unlabeled buttons, poor focus order, and lack of audio feedback.
Brainstorm features across three layers: foundational (screen reader compatibility, focus management), enhanced (voice control, audio descriptions), and innovative (haptic feedback, AI-driven contextual audio cues).
Use an impact/effort matrix to prioritize features, then validate with blind users through usability testing and iterate based on feedback.
Establish metrics (e.g., task success rate, time on task, user satisfaction) and outline a phased rollout plan, including partnerships with accessibility advocates.
