#365DaysIOSAccessibility

Calendar of Advent of iOS Accessibility. Day 4. Visual cues missing from VoiceOver's announcement. Four examples. The first one is a button with a person silhouette and a checkmark. VoiceOver announces it as "Collaborate, button". It is missing the fact that you are already collaborating with someone. Represented by the checkmark. Second example shows a tab with the title "Coming soon" and a badge with the number 6. VoiceOver announces it as "Coming soon, Tab 2 of 5". It is not conveying that there are 6 new movies and shows. Represented by the badge. Third example shows a chart's title: "Daily Average 1h 55m", an arrow pointing down, and "55% from last week". VoiceOver says "Daily average, one hour fifty-five minutes. 55% from last week". The user wouldn't know if it went up or down. Represented by the arrow pointing down. Fourth example, episode download. The stop button is surrounded by circular progress bar. VoiceOver says "Stop downloads, button" but not how much is left.
