How to move beyond the touch screen for a better accessibility of mobile and tablet native applications (Fabien Marry)
For many with different abilities, using a smartphone or a tablet through their touch screen can be difficult. We will see why and how to make your native apps more accessible. We'll start with pitfalls to avoid and simple steps with great results. Then we'll see how to tap into the powerful built-in accessibility systems that allow you to make your app usable by wheelchair controls or that turn your graphical user interface into an auditory user interface.
