Accessibility Scanner

Accessibility Scanner is a tool that suggests accessibility improvements for Android apps without requiring technical skills. Just open the app you want to scan, then tap the Accessibility Scanner button to find items in the app that might benefit from accessibility improvements. You can use this app to suggest changes to developers or to make changes yourself.
Accessibility Scanner suggests improvements such as enlarging small touch targets, increasing contrast, and providing content descriptions so that your app can be more easily used by individuals with accessibility needs. Designing for accessibility can allow you to reach a larger audience and provide a more inclusive experience.

To begin using Accessibility Scanner:


- Navigate to Settings > Accessibility
- Locate and turn on Accessibility Scanner
- In the app that you want to scan, tap the Accessibility Scanner button

I'm not a developer but a blind user. I found out during the scan of an inaccessible app that the report was made in Dutch =my native &system language of phone, but scanned app isn't available in Dutch, only in English. So I accidentally sent the devs of this app a report in Dutch. It's possible I used the app in a way that wasn't meant by you, but if I could tell the app to report in the language of the scanned app, this could be handy for the devs who get the reports. Another issue is that I sometimes find the scan button to scan the app I'm using, but sometimes I can't find the button. This means a blind person can't use your accessibility scanner to find inaccessible apps and help you to find the issues for making them =apps more accessible. Thanks for considering.

I was hoping to use this tool to change the background of apps to black with white text but dont have a clue how to use it to do so, thats if it even has the ability to do so? help! baffled, have my phone set in high contrast mode but it doesnt change apps colour & have to constantly turn negative colours on & off wich is annoying with many floors

The experience was horrible. When I tapped the tick button, nothing happens. After sometime, it starts working and shows me a button to take screenshot. I clicked that button and it sent my phone to a softlock. I couldn't access anything from my phone except Google assistant only through voice. I had to hard reboot my phone.( Hard reboot on Xiomi Note 5 pro: Hold the power button until the phone restarts ).

the accessibility inspector doesn't use my device volume settings. when it captures an image it uses volume 100% no matter what my actual device volume is set at. it's really loud and I can't run it in an open office environment (this is on a Samsung s10 with latest android installed)

For what it is worth, please don't use this app. This app is super unoptimized and might softlock your phone for an indefinite amount of time and the only way to get out is by hardbooting(which can be done by pressing power button+volume down button).

I must be doing something wrong. I tried it in a bunch of apps and clicking the blue check button does nothing at all. The button just disappears and the notification dismisses. No results page or anything.

Does what it says but as someone who trains testers, I need to stop sharing and start sharing again after I interact with "Scan". Tried via both cable, and via Zoom directly, multiple sharing apps... same behavior with any of them. As we are in the middle of a pandemic, guess this should be looked into

Let's just say I got a job to do that's been vacant for an apparently over 2022 years and counting. To make a long story short. This five-star rating is only temporary. if all goes well and update for this product will be within 6 months or less it's a big job so you're going to have to bear with me you got a lot of apps and this AI is making me test them all so I'm going to have to cut some corners I'll get back with you

Hey All, This app is really helpful to check the UI/Visual testing rather than accessibility. Can anyone suggest me if this tool can check the 'Actual' and 'Expected' accessibility IDs on Mobile apps. And, can we export the consolidated in a JSON or any report format.? Please comment if any other tools has the capability of above. Regards, Loga

Read and be aware that you should pay attention to the consumer uses for the application. I Had some of my own friends get all twisted with this also best Be aware for there's other apps whose similar uses that they have change the availability of what's seen with this also is another thing to be a little bit aware of.

Im giving this app 1 star for now, as I cannot find the share button to send a complete report of the app that I recorded. If I click on an individual page then the share option is there, but if I try to share by category or screens, then I cannot find a share button for the life of me. If I cannot share the whole report then this app is pretty worthless to me :(

Older version was working fine. With the new update nothing works and the app colors are horribly white and couldn't see/read most of screen.

This is an incredible way to begin learning and developing skills using Android language. I love experimenting with this app and look forward to learning more.

The app is very useful for work, but for the love of God please turn off the screenshot sound or at least let it follow the volume my phone's set as!!

Record mode didnot initiate at all. Snapshot works but after snap is clicked it keep on generating report have to do hard boot.

Very helpful for doing mobile audits. Not the most intuitive app to use, but good for testing apps on Android.

Great app but why does the shutter sound bypass all my volume controls? My phone is set to silent on everything but the shutter is full volume.

Kai. B. Jul 5, 2019     

This app won't let me play my games unless if I pin the game and the shutter sound is at full volume even when all my sounds are muted when I tap the button.

I hate this app because this app tells me to allow it to draw over other apps. If I allow it to draw over other apps i get a checkmark everywhere I go on my android tablet. The checkmark is annoying.
