Has anyone done anything in regards to ADA compliancy in mobile apps built with LiveCode? Using the apple or android accessibility tools such as Screen reading, for example.
I have been periodically looking at assistive technologies for LiveCode built applications on desktop platforms (vs mobile) over the years. Certain OS bases assistive tool like screen magnifiers do work as they are application independent. Unfortunately, screen readers and voice recognition tools generally don't work with LiveCode because the application independent tools look to act on OS native controls which most LC app don't use through out.
With LC 9 and the FFI/Widgets it may be possible to build integration libraries for one or more of those assistive tools that require application specific integration, but I don't think anyone has done it.
For mobile ADA compliance, you best bet is to test your app with whatever OS level assistive tools are provided with iOS and Android or look in the associated App store for application independent assistive app to test with your app.
If you mobile uses all native controls it *may* work better with OS or 3rd party assistive tool, but that is a guess. I have no mobile app experience.
