Hi all!
I am currently helping an ISV to make their writing app for iPad more VoiceOver accessible. Aside from the usual suspects (unlabeled buttons en masse), there are two problems I'd like to help them with, which I didn't find obvious solutions to in either the documentation or WWDC videos.
1. The first problem is in custom popovers. These are not exclusively visible, and furthermore, they aren't recognized by VoiceOver as popovers. They simply are views that get inserted into the other view hierarchy and can be swiped to, and swiped out of into surrounding elements. What's the best way to make these accessible?
2. The second problem is in some parts of the text field. There is specially marked text which a sighted non-VoiceOver user can just double-tap and get a said popover with more properties to edit. I've tried to navigate to this text with the VoiceOver rotor commands (this works), but triple-tapping the screen to simulate a non-VoiceOver double-tap does not work. Only a double-tap is recognized, so VoiceOver just again focuses the text field, which already has focus anyway.
What are the options here? I suppose there is no way to hook special menu items into the "Edit" rotor selection? Like some edit fields have bold, italic etc. options, and others don't? What could be done to make this accessible so VoiceOver users can either triple-tap correctly, or have some other means of accessing the info behind these special text sections?
Thanks for any advice!
Again, this all is for iOS.
Marco
