Enterprise Files Accessibility

VoiceOver

This feature works automatically to speak the controls and information shown in the app, responding to swipes, double taps and other gestures. The general layout of the app is a home page containing a list or grid of locations like local folders, cloud storage servers or networked file servers that you can add to. Opening one of these starts navigation at the root of the drive and you can drill down through folders to lists of files by selecting each one in turn. Each element (servers, folders and files) has a menu with its own set of actions like delete, copy or rename. The other major elements on the screen are toolbar buttons (the Add To Folder button shows a menu of items you can create like a new folder) and the tabs and breadcrumb bars. The tab bar works like tabs in a web browser, but you can use the app without this (turn it off in Config / Admin Settings / Feature Switches / Show Tabs). The breadcrumb bar shows the current path, with a History button on the far left that pops up a menu showing recent files and folders.

Other settings that can help with VoiceOver are:

• Say Name Before File/Folder - This switch changes the order that a file or folder name is spoken.
• VoiceOver Track Position - The dual speed slider for audio and video playback position is changed to one that supports VoiceOver.
• Minimise Background Audio - Use this when you have a bluetooth hearing aid and prefer it not to be activated when the app is in the background.

Dark Interface

To switch the interface between light and dark, open Config / Preferences / Interface Style. You can select Light, Dark or iOS Light/Dark which automatically switches between the two to match the general iOS setting.

Differentiate Without Colour Alone

Commands are always identified with a name or icon or with both.

Sufficient Contrast

The light and dark themes have the most contrast between foreground and background elements. Other colour themes are available in Enterprise Files and though these may have lower contrast, you may find one easier to work with.

Reduced Motion

When this system switch is turned on, menus and popups will appear with minimal animation.

Features that are not shown in the App Store accessibility card are:

Voice Control

Basic support for this feature is included, but we hope to extend this in a future update.

Larger Text

In Config / Preferences / Accessibility there is a Larger File Name Text switch that controls filename size. At this time the app does not support the general iOS Larger Text setting.

Over the years we have been very pleased to receive feedback on how well Enterprise Files supports assistive technologies like VoiceOver. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve the app with regards to accessibility, please email us at support@stratospherix.com
