Raising the Bar: Accessibility Innovation on X1

Feb 27, 2020

At Comcast, we believe when you make a product more inclusive you create a better experience for everyone. For Daisy, a Comcast engineer, it was her father’s battle with multiple sclerosis and her uncle’s struggle with PTSD that ignited her passion for accessibility. See how Daisy’s efforts led to the creation of Safe Sound, a groundbreaking audio compression and normalization algorithm for the X1 platform.
