Meet Daniel who uses a screen reader. Screen reader is a program that reads out elements and text on screen when navigating programs, apps or websites. To do that properly it depends on well written semantic code, ALT-texts and clear labelling. Testing with a screen reader is vital to ensure you have a WCAG compliant website or app. All operating systems nowadays have built in screen readers, for Android it is called TalkBack and for iOS it is VoiceOver. Everyone can do simple testing with their phone to find issues.
What will attendees learn?
How a real user uses the screen reader on a mobile phone. Get to know the basics and how to get started in testing with a screen reader. Learn some of the things to listen for.
Who is the workshop for?
Developers, QA-testers and any role working with digital products.
What are the attendee requirements?
An Android or iPhone device is good to bring, but you will still learn by listening.
