Day 29

accessibilitySpeechIPANotation is useful for indicating how foreign words are pronounced. It really annoys me to hear the word paella constantly mispronounced 😁. You could also specify language, but this way, VoiceOver won't change its voice. Example code in the image: ```swift let recipeNameLabel = UILabel() let attributedLabel = NSAttributedString( string: "Paella", attributes: [.accessibilitySpeechIPANotation: "pɑːˈeɪə"] ) recipeNameLabel.accessibilityAttributedLabel = attributedLabel ```

It is possible to embed icons within text using NSTextAttachment and NSAttributedString. If you do, please remember to override the accessibility label, otherwise VoiceOver will announce it as "Attachment.png File". Example code in the image: ```swift let magnifyingGlassIcon = UIImage(systemName: "magnifyingglass")! let searchButton = UIButton() let searchTutorialLabel = UILabel() searchButton.accessibilityLabel = "search" let textAttachment = NSTextAttachment(image: magnifyingGlassIcon) let string = "Select the button to find elements in the list" let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: string) let attributedStringIcon = NSAttributedString(attachment: textAttachment) let iconPlaceholderRange = attributedString.string.range(of: "")! let iconRange = NSRange(iconPlaceholderRange, in: attributedString.string) attributedString.replaceCharacters(in: iconRange, with: attributedStringIcon) searchTutorialLabel.attributedText = attributedString searchTutorialLabel.accessibilityLabel = string.replacingCharacters(in: iconPlaceholderRange, with: searchButton.accessibilityLabel!) ```

Love this feature! Yahoo released the possibility to explore charts with audio, in the finance app, when using screen readers in 2019. You can do now something very similar since iOS 15. https://coolblindtech.com/yahoo-finance-app-makes-charts-accessible-to-blind-and-partially-sighted-users/ You can move your finger in the x-axes, and it will play a sound with a different pitch depending on the data in the y-axes, making it easier to identify trends in the graphs. You need to conform to the AXChart protocol by implementing the accessibilityChartDescriptor property.
