When using VoiceOver on a device without a home button it can first be confusing how you can do a few things, including going to Home from an app, or opening the App Switcher, Control Center, or Notifications. Here's a quick guide for you.

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 ```
@NSSpain has a great history of having amazing accessibility talks in their schedule! “Accessibility in the Real World”, by @Sommer: https://vimeo.com/235317172 “How to build an app for everyone”, by @NovallSwift: https://vimeo.com/362163043 The super fun "Choose your own SwiftUI adventure - 3 Accessibility", by @twostraws and @PinkerStraws: https://vimeo.com/481768105 And, of course, this year's great "Bas: My Accessibility Story", by @basthomas: https://vimeo.com/751176747
It is not just about applying accessibility APIs, but about caring, and thinking of features that can make your app more accessible and inclusive to everyone. Twitter's alt-text feature is a great example. Thanks, @TwitterA11y! You'll be missed.
