I'm not sure how easy it would be to emulate, but the Iphone does have a touchtyping mode, where the voiceover user can select letters by touching the screen, and moving around until he/she is on the letter they require, whereupon lifting the finger "types" this letter into the current text edit area. Perhaps something like that would be useful in this case. I'm not sure how limited your users may be, but some of them may have an easier time lifting to envoke functions rather than tapping.

Hello List,

I am developing a somewhat unusual iOS app in terms of accessibility. I am happy to go into details, but my question is this:

* How do I react to a single tap when VoiceOver is active?

I have tried UITabGestureRecognizer, or overriding touchesBegan/ touchesEnd in my custom view, but both only reacted on a double tap (as expected in VoiceOver).

However, the users of this app will have very limited motor abilities, so in this special case they can just select something by tapping once anywhere on the screen.

Am I missing something obvious here, or is there a trick to it?

Thanks

Alex
