UI Toolkit seems to be a convenient way to create UI but I want to know if the UI made from it also supports accessibility features? For example, if I use a screen reader, would the UI support it?
There are assets making the traditional UI elements accessible by adding components to each individual element, but it does not look like the UI made from UI toolkit can do this.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, Unity made products are not compatible with screen readers out of the box currently, not even with UI Toolkit. We are planning on solving this but it’s not available yet.
You’re right that solutions out there use components in individual game objects to solve this and UI Toolkit doesn’t work with individual game objects so it won’t work. There’s probably a way to code a way to bridge the gap if your screen reader plug-in/package is open source (i.e. you have access to the source code) so you can make a way for the UI Toolkit elements to be part of your accessibility tree.
