If only we had something better! Wait for it… Painstakingly ensuring that every item on a screen is focusable by VoiceOver and SwitchControl is difficult and takes a lot of time, even for experienced testers. One of the aspects of Accessibility Testing that consumes a lot of time is Focus Order testing. Speed Up Focus Order Testing ( WCAG 2.4.3) Voice Control can significantly help both of these scenarios! Let’s talk about a couple of specific examples. In particular, ensuring that every actionable control can be activated by assistive technologies is painfully slow!.As an Accessibility Tester, the process becomes repetitive, and any time I can save for every screen I test is precious.
As a developer, toggling VoiceOver On and Off wastes precious seconds to check for trivial things.Below are a few problems I have with the way the testing process is now: One of the things I love about iOS and Voice Control is the potential it has to simplify the iOS Accessibility Testing Process. IOS Accessibility Testing: Voice Control to the Rescue! Watch me use VoiceControl here for some quick and easy accessibility testing: High learning curve aside, Voice Control is an awesome addition to the iOS Accessibility family. However, my experience so far with Voice Control has been great. I still want to attempt to utilize CustomAccessibilityActions from VoiceControl and perhaps attempt to explore deeply interactive controls (think: carousels or calendar widgets). Increment : Decrements an adjustable control.Tap “Apps”: Clicks the control labeled Apps.Tap 1: Clicks the first control on the screen.Show Numbers: Changes the overlay to display Numbers.Show Names: Changes the overlay to display Names.The Voice Control commands I have successfully tested are:
Voice Control lacks an effective “first time user” introduction, so discovering proper voice command format was a little difficult– at least by Apple Product usability standards. You can then use these numbers to reference and act on individual controls. When Voice Control is on, an overlay appears with Numbers for each active element. Voice Control is a technology aimed at helping iOS users with physical disabilities accomplish this. Wouldn’t it be great if you could easily control your phone with your voice? You find it difficult to order your family a pizza, text your children, maintain a blog, and collaborate effectively with peers. You start to realize how dependent you are on this ability. You lost the use of your hands in a combat operation. Imagine, you come back from deployment overseas.
