Keyboard
Ensure that all functionality in an app can be used via the keyboard interface. This includes external keyboard, screen reader, switch control and voice control. Visually impaired people use a screen reader. People with a motor disability use switch control and voice control.
Impact
People who are blind often use a screen reader to operate apps.
People with limited hand function often have difficulty using the touchscreen. Using a keyboard is a solution for them.
People with motor disabilities often use switch control or voice control to operate an app.
Check
