Programming and App Development

I have a friend who is in the process of losing their sight, who is also an
iPhone game developer. Are there any resources that I can direct them to, so
that they can continue doing what they love? Any help would greatly be
appreciated.

Hello everyone,

As many of you may be aware, Microsoft will be discontinuing their SoundScape app in June. This news is undoubtedly a devastating blow, as there are currently no apps available that can match its accuracy or provide the same level of positional audio and navigation.

Thankfully, Microsoft has released the source code for this app, which means I am considering taking on the task of reintroducing it to the App Store once it is discontinued. However, I will need the help of an experienced app developer to make this a reality.

As the title implies, the attributes role="alert" and aria-live="assertive" are not working as intended with version Ventura 13.6.4 of VoiceOver.
I can't confirm exactly in what version did this issue first appeared, but I can confirm this is not a code issue since it works now with other screen-readers, and used to with VoiceOver.
You may quickly confirm this with online implementation examples of this property. Here is one:

Hello,
VoiceOver can be controlled with APple Script, but what actions are available? The basic scripts provided by VO provideo nly some basic functionality, but as shown by apps like VOCR, much more can be done with VO and Apple Script than that. Could someone provide me with any documentation to the available interfaces?

Hello I am looking for a app developer that would be willing to work with me. I am trying to create a game for the blind and sighted. I am not to savvy on how to create the app. Please message me or get in contact with me if your willing to work. I really would love to get this game off the ground and going. Thanks all

Hi. I am looking for a game developer who could help build a few accessible games. Am also wanting to develop some interactive fiction games. Anybody with this experience, please message me one on one.

Dear all,

My name is Dax and I'm graduating as an iOS Developer at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam
I've been making iOS applications for over 2 years now, most of them focussed on visual impaired users.

For my graduating research I'm investigating the following:
How can I develop an iOS application that makes it easy for visually impaired to write and share reviews, allowing visually impaired, expertise and iOS developers to gain insight into the quality and usability of iOS applications for visually impaired people.

Dear applevis members,

My name is Dax and I'm graduating as an iOS Developer at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam
I've been making iOS applications for over 2 years now, most of them focussed on visual impaired users.

I've almost finished making an application called BlindSpot.
It has been developed specifically for visually impaired (VoiceOver) users.

In the application you can read and write reviews for iOS applications, which hopefully results in insights into the quality and usability of iOS applications for visually impaired people.

Hello Apple Vis Users,
My name is Daniel Mitchell and I am a rehabilitation counselor with The Bureau of Services for Blind Persons in Michigan. I work with a consumer who has been working as an Apple Programmer for 20+ years. He is struggling with finding a text editor which accurate enough for him to write computer/programmer code. My hope is you can assist me in finding a programmer who is blind and uses voice over.

I'm in the process of making sure that my app has high quality VoiceOver accessibility. I have the following question, and maybe more in the future. While navigating an entry form that has labels and text fields, is it preferred to have the label and the text field each provide accessibility? Or, combine the label into the text field? I'm thinking that combining the label into the text field reduces the number of elements on there screen that have to be navigated.

Hi - We have built an app that helps people interview more confidently.
We now wish to tweak the content for needs of the disabled community and dramatically improve the accessibility.
Does anyone have some ballpark metrics about how many developer days it takes to improve accessibility? It would help me with getting sensible quotes from third-party developers. Or maybe you are interested in quoting for the project. John

Hi, I’m completely new to app development but want to learn as I’ve got two ideas in my head that I want to turn into apps. I’ve read so much info that I’ve confused myself. Are there any blind app developers that can give me a few tips?

Any suggestions for a programming package for a blind pupil wanting to be creative?

Hi! All,

Good day!

I am learning html and tried Code Pen and JS Bin but both seem not accessible. Do you guys know of an accessible html on-line editor?

Thank you!

Regards,

Jhon

Hello!

Dear Applevis readers,

My name is Cleo and I am part of the mobile app team at TED. We are searching for visually impaired testers owning an iOS device to test our TED Talks mobile app. It is important for us to be accessibility compliant and we would love to get feedback on our app.

We think that our implementation of VoiceOver is pretty good, but we would like a review of all parts of the app to make sure it’s user friendly. So any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Note: At this time, the TED app does not support dynamic type, just VoiceOver.
