Your daily frequent11y newsletter, brought to you by @ChrisBAshton:

GDS updates its Government Service Standard requirements for assistive technology (AT) testing

  • Other than updating version numbers of AT and browser combinations, the main changes are: adding TalkBack (Android screen reader); reducing magnification level to test in from 10x to 4x; swapping ZoomText with Windows Magnifier or Apple Zoom; and specifying VoiceOver should be tested in iOS (testing in macOS is in a new ‘optional’ list for further testing).
  • There’s also a helpful note about it being good to test with any screen reader, speech recognition tool or screen magnifier in your development environment, but that you should test against the full list prior to launch.
