Robin,
Wow, this would be wonderful if this list could be made. After this we
could even expand it to Windows icons, Mac icons and so on.
Meanwhile, two suggestions:
Whenever you can, perform slowly the necessary steps with VoiceOver and
let the person look out for what you're doing. This way they will see
exactly what they should do because even though you're working with
VoiceOver, visually it will be the same.
Another suggestion, now regarding the list, we could start by adding
icons that we already know from googling these stuff. For example,
usually, the "Gear" icon will be the Settings button. Likewise the
"Hamburger" or the "Three dots" icon will be the "More options" button.
And the list goes on :)

Hi,
Today I ran into a situation which highlighted for me the need for a
resource I and I’m certain others could benefit from. I was with a
sighted friend and someone was helping them with their phone and was
explaining to them that the wi-fi symbol on the status line of the
iPhone sort of looked like an umbrella. It underscored for me how
differently sighted people experience their devices. Where we hear
things verbally with little to no idea what the accompanying icon
might look like. Conversely we might say do you see something on the
screen that says “compose” to write a message when in fact they only
have vision of an icon whose symbol depicts something like a pencil in
a circle thus making it harder for us to at times be a help to sighted
family or friends. as such I was wondering if anyone had ever compiled
a list of iOS icons in terms of their verbal cues we hear with an
accompanying description so that we could better communicate not just
with loved ones we might be helping but also app developers should we
be giving feedback and the like. I.e. bridging the gap between the
language of the iOS experience as both groups know it to be. If such a
thing exists I’d love to know of it or if someone would be willing to
compile such it’d be greatly appreciated by many I’m sure.
Thanks in advance.
Take good care.
Robin
