Mobile Accessibility Rituals : WCAG 2.1 Made easy for mobile apps

Get ready to dive into the world of app accessibility, where this book is your trusty treasure map! The goal is simple: help the readers and practitioners move from design complexities to practical application.This book has been designed to be as simple and plain as possible. The WCAG guidelines are aimed at perfection and hence they can get overwhelming. The guidelines are not directly transferable to mobile apps either! Maintaining accessibility standards in the mobile app needs special crafting. This book captures the experiences the author has had while fixing the accessibility of apps and boils them down to simple rituals a team can follow to make the app usable with assistive technologies like TalkBack and VoiceOver. The methods prescribed are more practical approaches rather than focusing on the details. Just like when you go to a doctor with a sore throat, they do not tell you the physiology or biochemistry but say Take these tablets twice a day and drink hot tea!The book starts off by discussing the theory of accessibility, a few statistics about people with disabilities, and the reasons behind it being not a priority. The book includes chapters on upgrading the design systems, fixing the content, creating accessible logical blocks, intent-based design principles, and methods to simplify the handover processes. This book also discusses a few frugal tests designers can perform before the dev team invests their efforts in coding.
