Mobile Phone Accessibility APIs August 26, 2009
Interesting to see accessibility APIs becoming available for mobile phones. If you are a developer for either of the major platforms you now have the ability to include accessibility information for your user interface.
Thanks for this… definitely a post that I’ll keep bookmarked because I’ve been asked about this resource more than a few times. Apple’s VoiceOver seems like such an innovative way to make a touchscreen UI accessible– so I’m glad they are sharing the goodness with their developers. So in looking at the description, it seems that making standard controls accessible just requires implementing the interface and defining five attributes per control. That’s pretty slick!
