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.

Android | VoiceOver |
iOS | TalkBack |
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 > Hierarchy Viewer) during Play mode to view the active accessibility hierarchy and its nodes in real-time.
Use Unity’s Accessibility Settings API to configure your UI(User Interface) Allows a user to interact with your application. Unity currently supports three UI systems. More info
See in Glossary 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.
