Hey,
I was wondering if there is support for the ios and android accessibility api’s, If not is it planned?
Thanks!
There isn’t currently support for this. The UI system is quite platform agnostic with no hooks into platform specific API.
Thanks for your reply, Is this on the todo list or will users need to provide their own version?
We don’t have plans at the moment, we would want to do it in a way that was supported on all platforms. For the moment I would recommend implementing your own layer.
Hi Voarix, this is probably too late for your app project, but maybe it can help others (I landed here via Google, too)
As was already mentioned, Unity doesn’t/cannot support this out of the box.
However, I’ve written a plugin that recreates screen reader functionality for the Unity UI (and NGUI).
It works just like VoiceOver and TalkBack, and actually uses the native VoiceOver speech for text-to-speech output. It currently support iOS and Android, and Windows support is on the roadmap.
