Step 01
Start from a new QR or one you already have
Create a QR from scratch with the URL you want or upload an existing one — poster, menu, manual, label. Both options work the same.
§ Create an Accessible QR
Make any QR
accessible.
For a person with visual impairment, scanning a QR is very hard. Create a new QR that is already accessible or add the NaviLens Accessible QR Code to one you already have. No focusing, no framing, from a distance.

The idea
A QR anyone can read. The NaviLens Accessible QR Code coexists with the standard QR and makes it usable for everyone, including people who are blind or have low vision.
How it works
Three steps. Start from scratch or use your current QR.
Create a new QR that is already accessible or add the NaviLens Accessible Code to an existing one. In both cases, anyone will be able to read it.
Step 02
You add the NaviLens Accessible QR Code
Generate yours free with our online generator. In seconds you have a print-ready code.
Step 03
Your QR is now accessible
Anyone can read it, including those with low vision or blindness. That simple, that fast.
Why it matters
What your QR starts being able to do.
01
Reads from further away
Up to 12 times the distance of a conventional QR. A 5 cm code is comfortably scanned at 5 metres.
02
Reads on the move
No need to stop, wait for focus or frame the camera. The reading is instant.
03
No need to focus
Works out of focus, in low light and at angles of up to 160°. Designed so anyone can use it.
04
Anti-QRishing protection
If the code has been tampered with by a scammer, NaviLens apps detect it and block the reading. Your information, protected.

Any QR code, accessible.
Anatomy of the code
A layer that wraps any QR.
The NaviLens Accessible QR Code is made of a high-contrast marker — easy to detect from a distance and without focus — that wraps a conventional QR. The phone camera first sees the NaviLens marker, processes it and reads the inner QR for you.
- · High-contrast markers for fast detection.
- · Embedded conventional QR: nothing is lost.
- · Compatible with any size and surface.
Security
Anti-QRishing protection.
QRishing is the technique whereby a scammer sticks a fake QR over a legitimate one to redirect you to a fraudulent site. If a NaviLens Accessible QR Code has been tampered with, the NaviLens apps detect it and block the reading. Your information, and your device, protected.

Frequently asked questions
What almost everyone asks.
What is the difference between a standard QR and the NaviLens Accessible QR Code?
The NaviLens Accessible QR Code can be read from much further away, on the move and at angles up to 160°. It needs no focusing or framing, so the user does not have to know exactly where the code is. That makes it usable by people who are blind or have low vision, while improving the experience for everyone.
Why are they necessary for people who are blind or have low vision?
People with very little residual vision generally cannot use a conventional QR: they do not know where it is, they cannot focus it and they cannot frame it. The NaviLens Accessible QR Code removes that step: it reads without focusing, without framing and from afar.
Can I add the Accessible Code to a QR I already have?
Yes. The generator lets you both create a new QR and add the NaviLens Accessible QR Code to one you are already using.
Is it free?
Yes. You can generate up to 2 codes completely free from the generator. If you need more volume, write to us at accessibleqrcode@navilens.com.
From how far can it be read?
A 5 cm NaviLens Accessible QR Code can be scanned at up to 5 metres. Distance scales with code size.
On what materials can it be printed?
On almost any, from paper to construction materials. The only requirement is that the surface does not produce glare or reflections that make it hard for the camera to read.
And if I change the QR's information? Do I have to reprint?
No. If you used the short URL when generating it, you can change both the final URL and the voiced text without reprinting the physical code.
How is it different from the original NaviLens Code?
The NaviLens Accessible QR Code makes an existing QR accessible: its only function is to allow anyone to read it. The original NaviLens Code, in addition, is used to signpost spaces and orient people within them.
