Hello,
I have an app that is used by both blind and deaf individuals.
I received feedback that my app doesn't work nicely with Talkback and Brailleback.
I believe Talkback is an accessibility feature that vocally recites the screen.
Doing a little research, it seems that Brailleback works in conjunction with Talkback to mimic the screen on an external Bluetooth braille device.
I have no experience with either of these. I assume that Talkback reads the text from all the controls (for example button.text or label.text) and recites the text using the Android text to speech engine.
I would assume that Brailleback does essentially the same thing except that it mimics the text on an external braille device.
Does anyone have experience using either of these?
Is it true that both accessibility features use the text field of a control?
The buttons in my app are bitmaps – they have no text. If I add text it shows overlaid with the bitmap.
I was going to try adding text to each of my buttons but setting the text color to transparent so that it does not show on the button. Has anyone tried this?
Thanks,
Barry.
