Operable

Users must be able to operate apps with the technologies they use. Ensure functionality is not only operable via touch. People who use a screen reader, voice control, switch control, external keyboard or other assistive technologies should also be able to operate apps.

Examples#

• An app should be operable in multiples ways, including with a screen reader, voice control, keyboard access and switch control.

• People with disabilities sometimes need more time to navigate through a screen. It is important that the time limits can be extended.

• Some users have mobility impairments, preventing them being able to shake their phone. Make sure that this kind of functionality can also be activated in other ways.
