Chapter 7

Accessibility

•\

Don't rely on audio or color cues alone. Avoid

situations where the sole indication of progress,

completion, or some other state is a sound or color

change. Either design the user interface to include clear

visual cues, with sound and color for reinforcement

only, or add specific accessibility indicators. When

choosing colors, try to avoid a palette that is hard to

distinguish for users with color blindness.

•\

Provide captions for video content and a readable

script for audio content. It's also helpful to provide

controls that adjust the speed of audio or video content,

and ensure that volume and transport controls are easy

to find and use.

•\

Localize your accessibility descriptions when the app

supports multiple languages.

•\

Test the accessibility features of your app on each

platform it targets. For more information, see Testing

accessibility.
