Hello Everyone, I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing list.
As of the latest Twitter for iOS app, v7.10, released today, TwitterMoments and TrendsForYou are not VoiceOver accessible. Please join me in reporting this issue. The following is the review I posted in the App Store. You are welcome to use any or all of it in your feedback to Twitter: [BEGIN REVIEW] SUBJECT: Request to Fix TwitterMoments and TrendsForYou VoiceOver Accessibility Bug Unlike in previous versions of the app, in the latest release of Twitter for iOS (v7.10), VoiceOver, Apple's software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision, cannot access TwitterMoments and the "TrendsForYou" feature of the Twitter service. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. Make certain that VoiceOver is enabled. 2. >From within the Twitter for iOS app, select the "Search and Explore" tab, located near the bottom center of the display. The current headline article will be displayed. This area of the screen is VoiceOver accessible. 3. Either by single-finger swiping from left-to-right or using explore-by-touch, place VoiceOver focus on the "Trends for You" heading, located just above the middle center of the display. 4. Now, single-finger swipe from left-to-right in order to read the currently trending article headlines. In previous versions of the app, the trending article headlines would be read, out loud. Now, however, swiping from left-to-right results in nothing being read, out loud, even though there are trending article headlines being displayed on the screen. 5. Either by single-finger swiping from left-to-right or using explore-by-touch, place VoiceOver focus on the "Today's Moments" heading. 6. Now, single-finger swipe from left-to-right in order to read the Twitter Moments article headlines. In previous versions of the app, the Twitter Moments article headlines would be read, out loud. Now, however, swiping from left-to-right results in nothing being read, out loud, even though there are Twitter Moments article headlines being displayed on the screen. I fervently request that this VoiceOver accessibility bug be addressed as soon as possible. Thank you, [END REVIEW] Here is my tweet on this issue: [BEGIN TWEET]: In #iOS @Twitter v7.10 app, #TwitterMoments and #TrendsForYou areas are inaccessible to the #VisuallyImpaired, via #VoiceOver. @Support [END TWEET]: The following is the text of the feedback I submitted via Twitter's feedback tool, which has a 500-character limit: [BEGIN FEEDBACK] In the latest release of Twitter for iOS (v7.10), the TwitterMoments & TrendsForYou areas are completely inaccessible to the visually impaired, via VoiceOver.
