Audit Text size popover for accessibility
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

This should be done since it is a popover and possibly affects users with sight issues.

I am breaking it out separately so we can get the feature into beta for design/product to evaluate.

Event Timeline

@JMinor do we want to have TSG test for accessibility? We haven't yet…

@Fjalapeno we discussed in planning this week. I'm going to write a short wiki page explaining how to test VoiceOver and SwitchControl, and we'll start to have TSG test these features once they've gotten the set-up down.

I'm leaving open here for now.

Steps to test VoiceOver accessability:

  1. Go to the iOS Settings app
  2. Under General > Accessibility > VoiceOver set the switch to on. Note that VoiceOver changes how iOS works to make it useable by the blind. In particlar, the single tap now "reads" what something is, while a double tap is required to acually "click" things. See this wiki page[[ URL | name ]] which gives some high level guidance for testing VoiceOver
  3. Switch back to the Wikipedia app
  4. Go to any article
  5. Tap the Text Size button. The VoiceOver should say "Font Size Button"
  6. Double tap the button
  7. The voice should explain that the element is a slider and can be adusted by Swiping up or down with one finger
  8. Swipe up or down, the text size should adjust and the Voice should read the size increment ("1", etc)

Re-opened as Austin reported in his 5.0.5 audit that this was not available view voice over. I tested this myself, so it definitely worked at some point in the past.
