Section 3.3.1 and accessibility
I run an iPhone development company. We’re currently making our UK train times app fully compatible with VoiceOver. We’re being helped by users of the ViPhone Google Group, which is a forum for discussing the iPhone 3GS and its support for visually-impaired users.
I saw a comment from a member of the group the other day, shortly after Section 3.3.1 went mainstream:
Could this mean more accessible apps for VO users?
Note the meaning behind the comment. Not “how dare they”, or “shame on you”, but “hurrah – this will mean that apps are more likely to be accessible via VoiceOver.”
Making better quality iPhone apps isn’t just about how they look – it’s about how they sound. And that’s another reason to develop your apps in Xcode.
