@JanJaapdeGroot presented the ScreenReader app for #GAAD2022. An app to help anyone learn VoiceOver's gestures in a very creative and playful way.
Day 182
ScreenReader: learn VoiceOver gestures playfully
16 Nov 2022
Some of you have asked me how you can support what I do. This would really help, and would be hugely appreciated:
Find these posts useful? Share them at work, on social media, or with anyone that might find them interesting. Let's spread the word!
Check out any of my apps or games: Xarra!, RetroRapid!, or Mestre!.
A download and a review go a long way. They're free by default. On the App Store, ratings and reviews really help more people discover them.
Finding any of them useful? If so, and if you can afford it, purchasing lifetime access to all features or subscribing lets me buy the coffee that keeps me caffeinated. Caffeine keeps me going to maintain the apps, bring in new features that I hope you'll love, and keep writing.

UIAccessibility is the cornerstone of any accessible UIKit app. Among others, understanding what an accessibility label, value, trait or hint are, is key. This is an example of how they could be configured for a custom rating component.
Custom actions are also great for actions that are executed with a gesture that is overridden by VoiceOver. Think of the unread, flag and archive hidden options that you can make visible by swiping left/right on a message row in the Mail app.
One thing I find very useful when testing (or doing demos!) is to have VoiceOver's caption panel enabled. It shows constantly at the bottom of the screen and you can see exactly what VoiceOver is saying.
