Read time 1 minuteLast updated 17 days ago

Use the Accessibility module APIs to create mobile applications that are accessible to a wider audience, including people with disabilities.

Requirements and compatibility

The Accessibility module APIs are available only for iOS and Android devices, with the following minimum requirements:

Platform

Operating system version

AndroidAndroid 8.0 (API level 26)
iOSiOS 13

Screen reader support

Android and iOS devices have built-in screen readers that describe what appears on the screen out loud. These screen readers are designed to help users who are blind or have low vision to navigate and interact with their mobile devices without needing to see the screen.

Platform

Screen reader

iOSVoiceOver
Use Unity’s Assistive Support API to enable screen reader capabilities for your application. The
AssistiveSupport
class stores the active accessibility hierarchy that you create, allows your application to notify the screen reader of changes in your UI, and notifies your application of events based on user actions. Use the Accessibility Hierarchy Viewer (menu: Window > Accessibility > Accessibility Hierarchy Viewer) during Play mode to view the active accessibility hierarchy and its nodes in real-time.

System settings

Use Unity’s Accessibility Settings API to configure your UI to interact with native font scaling, bold text, and closed captions. This improves the readability and visibility of your application's UI for all your users.
