介绍

Using iOS 3.0 and later, VoiceOver is available to help users with visual impairments use their iOS-based devices. The UI Accessibility programming interface, introduced in iOS 3.0, helps developers make their applications accessible to VoiceOver users. Briefly, VoiceOver describes an application’s user interface and helps users navigate through the application’s views and controls, using speech and sound. Users familiar with VoiceOver in Mac OS X can leverage their experience to help them quickly come up to speed using VoiceOver on their devices.

iOS3.0及之后的版本，视觉障碍用户可通过VoiceOver使用iOS设备。iOS 3.0引入UI无障碍编程接口，可帮助开发人员构建能够让VoiceOver用户访问的应用。简单地说，VoiceOver描述一个应用的用户界面，用户通过语音朗读以及声音，导航浏览该应用中的视图及控件。熟练使用Mac OS X的VoiceOver用户，能够快速上手，使用其移动设备上的VoiceOver。

iPhone applications that run in iOS 3.0 and later should be accessible to VoiceOver users. iOS and the iOS SDK support this goal by:

运行在iOS3.0及之后版本的iPhone应用，应该为VoiceOver用户构建无障碍环境。iOS和iOS SDK通过以下方式支持此目标:

• Making standard UIKit controls and views accessible by default

  默认情况下，标准UIKit控件和视图是可访问的；

• Supplying the UI Accessibility programming interface, which defines a streamlined process for making an iPhone application accessible

  提供UI无障碍编程接口，此接口为iPhone应用程序构建可访问性定义了线形的流程；

• Providing tools that help you implement accessibility in your code and test the accessibility of your application

  提供相关工具，帮助开发者在代码中实现无障碍、在应用中测试无障碍。

If you’re developing or updating an iPhone application, you should read this document to learn how to make your application accessible to VoiceOver users.
