About this app

Big Text Exchange Rate is an accessibility-focused currency app designed to allow the visually impaired, those with low vision, and the elderly to check exchange rate information more easily and comfortably. Many currency apps often make checking information burdensome due to small text, complex buttons, and dense screen layouts. To alleviate this inconvenience, Big Text Exchange Rate is designed around large text, a simple screen, an easy structure, and intuitive operation. Users can check current exchange rates and quickly calculate the conversion amount between desired currencies without navigating through complex menus multiple times.

This app aims to be more than just a currency app that displays numbers; it seeks to help users with limited access to information utilize it immediately in their daily lives. It is structured to allow users to check exchange rate information needed in everyday life more easily, such as preparing for overseas travel, checking estimated amounts before remittances, comparing prices, and planning currency exchanges. It supports English, Chinese, and Japanese in addition to Korean, enabling usability in diverse user environments.

The focus for the visually impaired lies in information accessibility and screen simplification. Many visually impaired users frequently utilize assistive functions, such as screen readers. Large Font Exchange Rate is designed to clearly display key information on a single screen, helping users quickly find what they need. It minimizes complex decorative elements and is organized so that important information—such as the current exchange rate, currency before conversion, currency after conversion, input amount, and calculation result—is clearly distinguishable. Additionally, Accessibility Mode allows users to view information with larger text and a simpler structure, reducing the burden of navigating the screen.

For users with low vision, large text and high readability were prioritized. Since small numbers or dense text can cause significant discomfort to those with low vision, Large Font Exchange Rate features a screen layout centered on large text so that current exchange rates and calculation results can be checked at a glance. The number of buttons has been reduced, key functions are placed in highly visible locations, and users can perform desired calculations immediately without complex navigation. Furthermore, Accessibility Mode displays information larger than the standard screen, helping users with low vision to distinguish numbers and currency information more easily.

Consideration for the elderly has also been a key feature. Elderly users often struggle with small text, unfamiliar icons, complex operation structures, and rapidly changing screens. Rather than displaying a multitude of features at once like complex financial apps, Big Font Exchange Rate is simply organized around essential functions. It is designed to allow users to naturally follow a flow of checking current exchange rates, selecting currencies, entering amounts, and verifying conversion results, thereby reducing the burden on users who are not familiar with digital devices. In other words, it was created to alleviate the anxiety of "not knowing where to press" and to provide a sense of security that "you can check immediately."

The core features of Big Font Exchange Rate are as follows: First, a large-font exchange rate checking function. Numbers and text are displayed in large sizes to allow for quick verification of current exchange rates. Second, an easy exchange rate calculation function. By selecting the sending and receiving currencies and entering the amounts, you can instantly check the estimated converted amount. Third, multi-language support. It supports Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese, allowing users to view information in the language that best suits their situation. Fourth, an accessibility mode. In accessibility mode, information is easier to check through larger fonts and a simple screen layout. Fifth, an exchange rate fluctuation check function. Users can visually view the flow of the exchange rate for selected currency pairs, enabling them to understand not only the current figures but also the changing circumstances.

Big Font Exchange Rate This app can be particularly helpful to the following users: those who find complex currency exchange apps burdensome due to visual impairments, those with low vision who struggle to read small text, the elderly unfamiliar with operating smartphone apps, and users who simply want to check exchange rates quickly and simply. It also has potential for use by guardians, special education teachers, welfare workers, and professionals supporting the digitally disadvantaged. It can serve as a practical reference tool in situations where an accessibility-conscious app is required.

"Big Text Exchange Rate" originated from the idea that users should not use apps in the same way as everyone else, but rather be able to use them according to their individual physical characteristics and levels of access to information. The core principle is to reduce the burden of information searching for the visually impaired, enhance readability for those with low vision, and lower the burden of operation for the elderly. We plan to continue improving the app with a focus on accessibility, readability, simplicity, and practical usability. Big Text Exchange Rate is an accessibility-focused currency exchange app created to deliver exchange rate information in larger, easier, and more convenient sizes.
