Accessibility is hard. Very hard. No single device will meet all A11y use cases. The closest you can get to that, is a device that can interact in what is perceptually faster than real time with the a11y accessory.
Some mandatory accessories:
- Joystick
- Physical Keyboard
- Braille Display Monitor
- Screen Reader
- Speech control
- Eye tracking based keyboard
That is by no means a complete list. Also remember that these devices not only have to play nicely with the device, but also with each other.
My estimate is that the cost for those devices will be more than double the amount that Amazon gets for this contract.
