Accessibility hint on Flutter

An accessibility hint helps users to understand what will happen after performing an action. Accessibility hints are announced by the screen reader. Keep in mind that users can turn off accessibility hints. You should therefore not rely on accessibility hints as the sole indicator of what happens. You should also avoid information duplication, e.g. avoid telling users that they can 'double tap to activate'.

With Flutter, you can set an accessibility hint by using the hint property provided by the Semantics widget.

Semantics(
  hint: 'Opens the Appt website'
);
