Application Accessibility
Thursday, March 5, 2009 at 2:12PM Martin Pilkington of M Cubed Software, has published a blog post about application accessibility and how some major Mac applications fall short in providing robust implementations.
In the article Martin declared that his application will all be fully accessible by the end of 2009 and defined the parameters as:
- The UI available to VoiceOver users should be as user friendly as the visual UI
- All UI elements should have titles and/or descriptions
- All custom controls should provide full keyboard access
- There should be a clear and logical order to navigating UI fields with the keyboard
- Every part of my application should be reachable without the mouse
He also threw down the challenge to other developers to do like-wise and I'm delighted to say that I'll be taking him up on it so all Otter Software products will be made fully accessible.
