Screen reader compatibility: Ensure all visual content is compatible with screen readers. Add meaningful descriptions to images, icons, buttons, and other user interface (UI) elements with the Semantics widget.
Accessible text: Use clear, easy-to-read text and provide options to increase font size or change contrast. Consider support for dynamic text size adjustments.
Keyboard navigation: Ensure your application supports navigation using a keyboard, switch control or other assistive devices.
Color Contrast: Follow WCAG 2.1 guidelines for color contrast to ensure your app is usable by those with color vision deficiencies. Tools like the Color Contrast Analyzer can help.
Text-to-Speech (TTS): Incorporate TTS services for visually impaired users.
Touch target size: Make sure touch targets (buttons, links, form elements, etc.) are large enough to use easily. WCAG guidelines suggest a minimum size of 44 x 44 dp.
Provide alternative navigation: Swiping may not be accessible for all users, so provide alternative means of navigation.
Avoid complex gestures: Not all users can perform complex gestures, such as pinch-to-zoom or multi-finger swipes.
Error identification: Clearly identify input errors and provide suggestions for corrections, especially in forms.
Accessible Forms: Label all form fields properly and ensure any validation error messages are announced by assistive technology.
Accessibility Testing: Use accessibility scanners to check your application for issues. On Android, you can use the Accessibility Scanner, while iOS has the Accessibility Inspector. Flutter's FlutterDriver class can also help with testing the accessibility of your app.
Offer VoiceOver (iOS) and TalkBack (Android) support: These are screen reading tools that assist visually impaired users in navigating devices.
Localize your app: Providing localization support is an important aspect of accessibility. This means offering multiple languages and regional settings.
